Gaultier, Ennemond - Le Tombeau de Mézangeau

[supra legato]

Hello everyone,

Here is a piece called the Tombeau of Mézangeau; this piece would apparently be the very first Tombeau written, commemorating the death of René Mézangeau.

The Tombeau is a musical composition honoring the death of a notable person. This term comes from the french word "tombe" which means tomb. Most of the Tombeaux were written in the 17th century and composed for lute.

Good listening,
