Loeillet's Corant
Corant In E-Minor is a keyboard piece composed by Jean-Baptiste Loeillet. It is one of his Lessons For The Harpsichord Or Spinet, published between 1709 and 1715. "Corant", "courante", "corrente", and "coranto" are some of the names given to a family of triple metre dances from the late Renaissance and the Baroque era.
Jean-Baptiste Loeillet (1680 - 1730), sometimes called "the London Loeillet", was a Flemish-English composer, who performed on harpsichord, recorder, flute, and oboe. He was a cousin of a composer with the same name who was sometimes called "the Ghent Loeillet". The London Loeillet composed many instrumental works, including trio sonatas for recorder and oboe, sonatas for recorder, trio sonatas for two flutes, trio sonatas for two violins, sonatas for recorder and continuo, and the Lessons For The Harpsichord Or Spinet. Leopold Godowsky's (1870 - 1938) piano-suite Renaissance features an arrangement of one of the London Loeillet's gigues (lively baroque dances originating from the British jig).
