Wikipedia Infos:
Jean-Nicolas Geoffroy, born in Vitry-le-François around 1633 and died in Perpignan on March 11, 1694, is a French composer, harpsichordist and organist of the Baroque period.
The life of this musician (probably a student of Lebègue) is not known until around 1690 when he was organist at the Saint-Nicolas-du-Chardonnet church in Paris and an expert in the making of this instrument. He then moved to Perpignan where he held the organ of the Saint-Jean-Baptiste cathedral from 1692

These pieces were perhaps not composed by J.N Geoffroy but by various anonymous people from the same period (around 1690).
However, this music is original and interesting.
