- Trumpet Fanfare
[1:57]
As director of the Concert Spirituel in Paris, Mouret composed a great deal of music for chorus and orchestra and for orchestra alone. Directing such
a company is a study in insanity anyway; the company failed in 1734, Mouret lost his various positions, and at the end went quietly crazy. Charenton,
where he died, is the seat of the famous insane asylum. His work established the French Baroque orchestral tradition. This track probably sounds
familiar, because the BBC used it as the theme for its Masterpiece Theatre series. It features a 4 manual layout which you can view here.
