Jean-Jacques Beauvarlet-Charpentier (28 June 1734 – 6 May 1794) was a celebrated French organist and composer.
He was born in Abbeville. From 1763, he was a member of the Académie des Beaux Arts de Lyon (now École des Beaux-Arts). Then, from 1783 to 1793, he was organist at the Notre Dame de Paris.
Beauvarlet-Charpentier composed sonatas for keyboard and violin and numerous pieces for organ. He died in Paris.
His son Jacques-Marie (1766–1834) was also an organist and composer.
The music is attractive enough, but in comparison with the music of the great French Baroque masters. This sounds sort of like "French Mozart" to me. :-)
I used the St. Maximin organ specifically because of the 4th section, "Trio de Grosse Tierce". For those unfamiliar with that, it is essentially a cornet based upon the 16' series rather than the usual 8'. This would make the tierce stop at 3 1/5' rather than the usual 1 3/5'.
Timings for the individual sections are as follows:
0:00 - Plain Jeu
0:45 - Duo
2:17 - Cromorne avec les fonds
4:39 - Trio de Grosse Tierce
6:30 - Récit de Flûte
9:31 - Grand Choeur
11:16 - Petit Plain Jeu
