The "Cromorne en taille" is a piece of music composed by an anonymous composer, included in the "Livre d'orgue de Montréal" (Montreal Organ Book). The exact date of composition is unknown, but it is believed to have been written in the early 18th century. The piece is written for the organ and is part of a larger collection of organ music. The "Cromorne en taille" is a single movement piece that is characterized by its use of the cromorne stop on the organ. The cromorne is a reed stop that produces a bright, nasal sound. The piece is written in a slow tempo and is in the key of G minor. It begins with a simple melody played on the cromorne stop, which is then repeated with variations and embellishments. The melody is accompanied by a simple bass line played on the pedals of the organ. The piece is notable for its use of ornamentation, which was a common feature of Baroque music. The composer uses trills, mordents, and other decorative elements to add interest and complexity to the melody. The piece also features a number of dynamic changes, with the volume of the music rising and falling throughout. The "Cromorne en taille" was likely composed for use in church services, where it would have been played on the organ during a mass or other religious ceremony. It is a relatively simple piece of music, but it is notable for its use of the cromorne stop and its use of ornamentation. The piece remains popular among organists today and is often included in recitals and recordings of Baroque organ music.
