Jacques Buus organ works puzzle me for something?

[Carlo Gesualdo]

Here an early composer of the organ of the Franco-Flemish that seems unusual.

If we listen first to the first printed organ work by Kimberley Marshall, first we discover there all German nothing special about it, but the length of the tracks is short.

Jacques Buus, composed organ works that were long just like baroque at an early state of 16th century, prior to what we would see in the late 17th-century whit German such has
Telemann and later on whit the great J.s Bach, this makes me wonder did Jacques Buus was avant-garde for his era and an isolated case.

I have some of Buus organ work on some particular records, but not a full length of Jacques Buus, I wonder how large was is output, seem only few pieces were printed.

That is kind of sad since he was a good organ player. How come there is so little of Jacques Buus work available since he probably wrote more, no one ever tried to compile all is organ works on one album.

Strangely enough, the first organist of Germany 15 century to early 16 century was very short in length and sounded like nothing Jacques Buus did.

Thank you for reading I really like Jacques Buus It's a shame no one ever tried to do an album dedicated only to him.

Yes, he is certainly a composer who is unexplored by recording artists. I only own a few of his organ works (recordings by Tamminga and Lester) and too little to judge about his importance in a historical perspective. Also a Google search reveals little of interest. His ricercari for organ are notorious for being very long.  Youtube has two here:

In Ton Koopman's selection from the Buxheimer Organ Book there's one quite substantial piece, which he calls Incipit Fundamentum MCPC (Debut) -- which implies that there's more of it!

There were contemporaries of Buus who wrote longish ricercari, if you look at Willi Appel's History of Keyboard Music to 1700 you'll see there's a pretty extensive discussion of this.   

Buus  1500 –  1565
Adrian Willaert  c. 1490 – 1562
Marco Antonio Cavazzoni c. 1490 – c. 1560

Prompted but this thread I've been listening to Glen Wilson's Cavazzoni CD, and you know what? Tonight, it seems like some of the best music in the world!

This new release has a substantial piece by Buus players by a wind band.  The recording generally has a distinctive sound balance between instrument and voices, presumably, given the credentials of the performers, that's more or less what it actually sounds like in San Marco. Yet another De Rore dominated CD (and Willaert this time) De Rore's time has come it seems.
