Overview
According to
The New Penguin Dictionary of Music
, Louis Claude Daquin [also spelt d'Acquin] was a French composer of harpsichord pieces (including "The Cuckoo"), church music, etc.; organist from boyhood. He succeeded
Jean-François Dandrieu
at the Chapelle Royale in 1739 and afterwards became organist at Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris in 1755). Daquin obtained such success as an improviser that the police were sometimes called in to maintain order in the streets of Paris on the nights he performed.
Daquin also has Rigaudons published in
Leichte Trios - Easy Trios
and
Spielstücke für Blockflöte und Gittarre
as well as Dudelsack in
Flötenbüchlein für kleine Leute (D/D/A)
and
