Pièce par Mr. Babou, 1709

Thomas Babou was a composer and organist who lived and worked in Liège. Unfortunately we know very little about him. He was organist at the Collégiale Saint-Jean-l'Évangéliste de Liège, at least from 1687 until 1726. Thanks to his son Jean-François-Pascal Babou many pieces of father Thomas survived. Babou's music contain French and Italian influences. Several of his pieces can also be played on harpsichord, however this particular piece certainly is meant for organ. It's just called Pièce, without an addition of a registration suggestion (Cornet, Cromorne, Trompette etc). So I choose the wonderful Cornet of this Andreas Silbermann organ in Ebersmünster.
