Johann Jakob Froberger (1616 – 1667), Tombeau pour Blancrocher
Arranged & Edited by Michael Lorimer.
12 Pages.

The tradition of the Tombeau is one which was popular at this time,  but has been largely lost today.  It was a work composed in memory of a recently deceased person,   slow and often deeply emotive in style.  Mr.Blancrocher was a well-known French lutenist who died after accidentaly falling down a flight of stairs in 1652.  This work is one of several composed in tribute to Blancrocher.
