His first known professional position was as a church organist in Rouen.  Corrette then gained the position of organist to the Grand Prior of France.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1750 he received the title of Chevalier de l\u2019Ordre de Christ, and around the same time, he became the organist at the Jesuit college in Paris.  A position he held for about thirty years. Also during this period, he became organist for the Prince of Conti of the Church of St. Marie-Madeleine.  During this period he took the opportunity to travel to England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1780 he became organist to the Duke of Angoul\u00eame which was to be his last post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as being an organist and composer he organised concerts and taught music.  He was a popular teacher and wrote almost twenty music method books for a variety of different instruments.  His Suite in C Major comprises of nine mainly short movements, written originally for the Dulcigurdy, a form of the hurdy-gurdy. The creation of this sound involved winding a crank, which turned a spinning wheel to bow the strings with a constant sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Corrette&#8217;s compositions were not limited to one type.  He composed ballets and divertisements for the stage, twenty-five concertos comiques, along with organ concertos, sonatas, songs, instrumental chamber works, cantatas, and other sacred works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He married Marie-Catherine Morize in 1733 and they had a daughter and son together.  Michel died in Paris on 21st January 1795 at the age of 87.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-corrette-sheet-music-downloads-and-further-reading\">Corrette Sheet Music Downloads and Further Reading<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On music-scores.com we have <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.music-scores.com\/sheet-music\/corrette.php\" target=\"_blank\">a few arrangements<\/a> of&nbsp;Michel Corrette sheet music in PDF format for you to download.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For further information on this composer take a look at&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Michel_Corrette\" target=\"_blank\">Wikipedia<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/artist\/michel-corrette-mn0002148255\/biography\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">All Music<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Corrette Sheet Music and Biography Michel Corrette was a French organist, composer, teacher, and author of music method books.
