    Life
    He may have been organist at the Rouen Cathedral until December 1524, when a
    certain Jacques Brunel left the post. From 1532 until 1564 a Brunel, probably the
    same person, worked as organist at the Este chapel in Ferrara, where in 1547–1558
    he served under the famous composer Cipriano de Rore. Between 1543 and 1559
    Brunel received money for the keep of a horse, which he needed to travel to oversee
    the Este chapels at Modena and Reggio nell'Emilia. At the request of Guidobaldo II
    della Rovere, Duke of Urbino, Brunel also stayed in Pesaro and Urbino in the
    summer of 1534, and later in 1561–63. The last references to him in the archives are
    from early 1564: he was last paid in March, and had died by May. He was succeeded
    by his son Virginio Brunel, who later became organist at the Basilica of San Vitale. A late 16th or early 17th century map

    Works
    Brunel enjoyed an exceptionally high reputation during his lifetime. Numerous writers, including Cosimo Bartoli, Cinciarino, Jacopo
    Corfini and Luigi Dentice, praised his skills. Bartoli wrote that Brunel played "with more grace, with more art and more musically
    than any other, whoever he may be." However, few of his works survive. The most important pieces, a number of ricercars from the
    so-called Bourdeney Codex, were attributed to Brunel byAnthony Newcomb in 1987. These works are of considerable importance in
    the evolution of the genre: there are frequent instances of advanced contrapuntal techniques such as inversion and augmentation,
    hexachord transpositions (inganno) of the subjects; some of the pieces even employ countersubjects.[2] Two ricercares also appear in
    [3]
    another mansucript: one imitative, structured like amotet, and the other completely devoid of any imitative passages.

    One other piece was attributed to Brunel by Knud Jeppesen: an organ mass discovered in the 1940s in manuscripts that were kept in
    the main church of Castell'Arquato. The mass, subtitled Messa de la dominica, is signed Jaches at the end of the last Kyrie verset. It
    is a typical Italian organ mass, consisting of many short pieces for the alternation practice. All of the pieces are in four voices, but the
    texture is frequently interrupted either by passages in three voices, or with chordal passages which include chords of five, six, or even
    seven notes.[4]
