Abstract

Dutch organbuilder; also known as Jacobus Franciscus Moreau. He was probably born in Flanders, but by 1693, the family was living in The Hague. Moreau may have worked for Louis DELHAYE at Ghent; he married Delhaye's daughter in 1724. From 1718 on, Moreau lived in Rotterdam. He carried out maintenance and repair work in the Southwest part of the Netherlands and built harpsichords, house organs, and small church organs, including the instrument for Rotterdam, Oosterkerk (1723, now at the Prinsekerk), using parts of the former NIEHOFF organ (1560) of the city's Grote of St. Laurenskerk. In 1732, Moreau was commissioned to build a new organ for Gouda, St. Janskerk (1733-36, extant); this instrument was to become his magnum opus.
