(b ?Normandy, ? c 1625; d Paris, 27 Sept 1690). French singing teacher and composer. He lived mainly in Paris. Although important as a composer and teacher - he published several books of chansons and secular and sacred airs - his most valuable legacy is the vocal treatise Remarques curieuses sur l′art de bien chanter (1668), a prime source of information on French 17th-century vocal practice.
