French organ music Baroque and organ mass: to the problem of periodization
Abstract
The article first addresses the topic of the periodization of French organ music of the Baroque and the most important genre of the period under consideration – the French organ mass. A review of the special literature showed that the development of the national tradition consisted of several stages. The study found out that in the works of domestic and foreign musicologists various options for the periodization of organ music in France are presented. The systematization of information about the creation of the French organ mass made it possible to conclude that there were their own chronological boundaries for the development of the genre. Doubt is expressed in the opinion established by a number of researchers that in the second half of the 18th century the French organ mass began to degenerate into an organ suite. It is noted that over the specified period of time, the organ mass and suite coexisted simultaneously and could appear in the work of the same composer.
