Couperin: Fourth Book of Harpsichord Pieces

---

In der griechischen Mythologie waren die Schatten die verlorenen Seelen, die nicht in den Hades hinabsteigen konnten, weil sie keine richtige Beerdigungszeremonie erhalten hatten. Dachte Couperin an seine Freunde vom Theater, denen das gleiche Schicksal widerfahren war? Zu seiner Zeit mussten die Menschen, die ihr Leben am Theater verbracht hatten, ihrem Beruf entsagen, wenn sie eine christliche Beerdigung erhalten wollten. Auf diese Weise endet dieser Ordre in einer vollkommen anderen Stimmung, als er begonnen hat.

Track 13 on CDA [4'38]. It is one of his best allemandes, rich in harmony and texture, and of course with those ever-present chromaticisms. Towards the end, the downbeat rests followed by a three-note figure seem to tell us not to disturb he who is resting, and the ending in the lower part of the keyboard seems appropriate.

For the last nine years he lived in an apartment on the Rue Neuve des Bons Enfants, and gradually gave up his official posts.

Many of his close friends were now dead. His health was bad, and his son had abandoned him. The ordre contains only four pieces, so is the shortest of the twenty-seven in that regard; but it also makes it feel slightly like a sonata da chiesa rather than a loosely knit suite of pieces. It is serious in nature, and the counterpoint is masterly. How far we are from his early works! Viele seiner engen Freunde waren bereits gestorben. Sein Gesundheitszustand war schlecht und sein Sohn hatte ihn verlassen. Es hat einen recht ernsthaften Charakter und der Kontrapunkt ist meisterhaft.

Track 19 on CDA [4'19]. Lully wrote sommeils in his operas we think especially of Atys which featured muted violins and flutes in parallel thirds and sixths as we have here.
