Biography

A total of seven chansons ascribed to "Le Rat" from 1549 to 1557, mostly by Du Chemin: four in the Chansons nouvelles series, another pair in the Second livre of 1557, and a single one in a book issued by Attaingnant’s widow in 1553. Is the text of D’un amy fainct je ne puis deffaire by François I? Saint-Gelais? The text of J’ay vue que j’estois serviteur appears in Lotrian’s La fleur of 1542-3. The text of O cruaulté logee en grant beaulté is by Marot: Chanson XXIX. Stylistically his works are homorhythymic in the manner of Parisian composers Sandrin, Certon, and Arcadelt.

No archival document mentionning a musician with such a name has yet been found.
