Pierre Du Mage

Pierre Du Mage (also Dumage; baptised 23 November 1674 – 2 October 1751) was a French Baroque organist and composer.

At some point during his youth, Du Mage moved to Paris and studied under Louis Marchand.

Due to strained relations with his superiors in the cathedral chapter, Du Mage left on 30 March 1719, at the age of 45, and became a civil servant.

It contains a single Suite du premier ton, comprising eight pieces in the traditional French forms: Plein jeu, Fugue, Trio, Tierce en taille, Basse de Trompette, Récit, Duo and Grand jeu.

In the brief preface to the collection, Du Mage explains that these are his first works, modelled after the music of his former teacher Marchand.
