Born in Paris on the 19th December 1676, Clérambault came from a musical family (his father and two of his sons were also musicians). While very young, he learned to play the violon and harpsichord, and he studied the organ with André Raison. He also studied composition and voice.
Clérambault became the organist at the church of the Grands-Augustins, and entered the service of Madame de Maintenon. After the death of Louis XIV and Nivers, he succeeded the latter at the organ of the church of Saint-Sulpice and the royal house of Saint-Cyr, an institution for young girls from the poor nobility. He was responsible there for music, the organ, directing chants and choir, etc.
It was in this post - it remained his after the death of Madame de Maintenon - that he developed the genre of the "French cantata" of which he was the uncontested master. In 1719 he succeeded his teacher André Raison at the organs of the church of the Grands-Jacobins.
He died in Paris on the 26th October 1749.

Bravo Andrè is a really nice execution , I love above all the sarabande and gigue, are a beautiful example of the spirit of the French Baroque

Je me demande si l'auteur inconnu de la Marche des Rois ne s'est pas un peu souvenu de dernier mouvement (7:57 ).

I think I have used a tenor recorder 440 like a voice recorder (you read a D and you play a C)...

I don't exactly remenber this recording , so when I listen it can I hear a lot of imprecisions!(I use just a Zoom H1 and Audacity)...I have an treble recorder 392 but not an voice recorder 392..I think it was transposition,I'm not sure...You are certainly right! But Clerambault music is very beautiful!
