Full biography Louis-Claude Daquin
Louis-Claude Daquin (1694-1772) was a French composer, harpsichordist, and organist who was known for his contributions to the Baroque and Galant styles of music. He was a child prodigy and received his first keyboard lessons from his godmother, composer Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre. Later, he studied under Louis Marchand, another prominent composer of the era.
Daquin's works were noted for their neatness and precision, and his playing was highly regarded by his contemporaries. Some of his most well-known compositions include "Le Coucou," a rondo piece for solo harpsichord, and "Noël en Duo," a Christmas carol arranged for two harpsichords.
In addition to his music, Daquin also served as an organist at several prominent churches in Paris, including the Chapelle royale at Versailles and the Church of Saint Paul-Saint Louis. He was also a member of the French court and was appointed as harpsichordist to the queen.
Remarkably, even after his death, Daquin's music continued to influence later composers. He was considered a major figure in the development of the Galant style, which emphasized simplicity and elegance in music, and his works were an important precursor to the Classical era. Today, Louis-Claude Daquin is remembered as one of the most significant composers of his generation, whose contributions to music helped to shape the course of musical history.
