The selection of works presented on this CD constitute a world premi�re realized based on seven autograph manuscripts found in the Biblioth�que Inguimbertine of Carpentras by Joseph Scherpereel who also wrote the essay in the booklet. The 'Livre d'Orgue de Carpentras' contains organ works by the 18th-century organist and composer Louis Archimbaud that are organized according to their liturgical function or church mode: Pr�ludes, El�vations, Offertoires. Marie-Bernadette Dufourcet-Hakim, who is internationally renowned for her talent as an organist and erudition as a musicologist, worked enthusiastically to give new life to these manuscripts which must be 'interpreted' according to the customs and traditions of the period: harmonic additions indicated by occasional figured bass notation, notes in�gales (unequal notes), ornamentation, suitable and varied registrations, and on an instrument chosen expressly for it.
