Louis-Nicolas Clérambault (19 December 1676 – 26 October 1749) was a French organist and composer.
Parisian Life
If you had live, by some strange chance,
In early eighteenth-century France,
You may have had the luck to know
Louis-Nicholas Clérambault.
But in our own (the twenty-first),
You’d have to be extremely versed
In matters of the place and time
Considered in this simple rhyme,
To know his name when I invoke
This master of the French Baroque.
