Jean Baptiste Loeillet de Gant by MS3 Baroque Trio

Couple of pieces by Loeillet. Played by MS3 Baroque Trio at Visegrad Church. There was a great temperature - around 10 degrees... Loved to play these Loeillet pieces especially in a church. The arrangement was classical guitar, alto sax and violincello.

Jean Baptiste Loeillet was a great French baroque composer son of a great French musician family. Jean Baptiste Loeillet (1688–cca. 1720) "de Gant" since he was born in Ghent. He had a cousin Jean-Baptiste Loeillet of London (1680–1730), who was a famous and populair composer and performer living London. Jean Baptiste Loeillet de Gant was working at Munich court then in France. His works were printed in Amsterdam.
