One of his earliest positions was that of organist of the Parisian church des Quinze-Vingts, and in 1674 he was appointed titular organist of the Rouen Cathedral. Boyvin published two collections of organ works, in 1689 and in 1700, both featuring pieces spanning all church modes. The books contain 16 suites, no less than 120 individual pieces total. Jean-François Dandrieu was born in Paris into a family of artists and musicians. A gifted and precocious child, he gave his first public performances at the age of five, playing the harpsichord for King Louis XIV of France, and his court, and continued as a successful performer and compser throughout his life. Five volumes of Dandrieu’s music have come down to our time, much of it clearly influenced by the German contrapuntal school. Nicolas-Antoine Lebègue was born in Leon and in the 1650s settled in Paris, quickly establishing himself as one of the best organists of the country. He lived and worked in Paris until his death, but frequently made trips to other cities to consult on organ building and maintenance matters. Lebègue's reputation today rests on his keyboard music. He made particularly important contributions to the development of the French organ school. Louis Marchand was born orn into an organist's family, Marchand was a child prodigy and quickly established himself as one of the best known French virtuosos of his time. He worked as organist of numerous churches and, for a few years, as one of the four organistes du roy. Despite significant renown in his lifetime, few of his works survive to this day, and those that do almost all date from his early years. Guillaume-Gabriel Nivers was a French organist, composer and theorist. His first livre d'orgue is the earliest surviving published collection with traditional French organ school forms. Nivers's other music is less known; however, his treatises on Gregorian chant and basso continuo are still considered important sources on 17th century liturgical music and performance practice. André Raison was, during his lifetime, one of the most famous French organists and an important influence on French organ music. He published two collections of organ works, in 1688 and 1714. The first contains liturgical music intended for monasteries and a preface with information on contemporary performance practice. The second contains mostly variations on Christmas carols.
