About Louis-Antoine Dornel
Louis-Antoine Dornel (c. 1685–1765) was a French composer, harpsichordist, organist, and violinist. Dornel was probably taught by the organist Nicolas Lebègue. He was appointed organist at the church of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine-en-la-Cité in 1706, where he took over from François d'Agincourt. He was runner-up to Jean-Philippe Rameau in the competition for the post, But Rameau eventually refused the terms set by the church authorities. Dornel occupied several organist posts in Paris over a period from 1714 to 1748.
