Biographie

Clément Janequin (c. 1485-after 1558) was a leading composer of French secular music during the 1530s through 1550’s. He wrote over 250 chansons in all. They range widely in musical style, but show rhythmic vitality, a subtle sense of melodic organization, and a great talent for the vivid representation of narrative and descriptive texts. No other composer is represented by more works in Du Chemin’s chansons nouvelles.
