Biography

Composer and arranger active in Paris during the 1540’s through 1560’s. He edited a collection of ensemble dances for the firm of Attaingnant in 1557. His 57 four-voice chansons are chiefly of the concise and chordal variety, but a few venture beyond the confines of this idiom to embrace other aspects of the mid-century chanson. A number of his chosen texts were also set by composers such as Sandrin and Sermisy.
