Clérambault
Nicolas Clérambault (1676-1749)
"For a long time it has been standard practice to assume that Clérambault's
Christian name was Louis-Nicolas; it turns out however that contemporary
documents used only Nicolas."
"Clérambault composed a Motet fait pour la Dédicace de l'Eglise de Saint
Sulpice to Latin verse by Pierre-Charles Roy, which was performed on 30 June
1745 by over eighty musicians."
[From the translation of liner notes by Catherine Cessac to Motets pour
Saint-Sulpice, adapted from her book Nicolas Clérambault (1998).]

Clérambault: Pirame et Tisbé (1713); Nicolas Bernier

Stuck dit Batistin (c.1680-1755): Les Festes
bolonnoises (1714); Du Buisson: Plainte sur la mort de
Monsieur Lambert (c.1696). This is an outstanding recording
of a collection of exceptional works. The richly orchestrated
cantata by Stuck with virtuosic writing for voice is
particularly interesting. It begins with a 2-part overture and
includes an movements in both Italian and French styles. Stuck
was born into an Italian family of German origin and arrived in
France during 1702-05. He composed tragédies en musique
including Méléagre, Manto la fée, and Polydore,
as well as four books of cantatas. Based on this cantata, I
believe that more of his works should be performed and recorded.
