Fabrice Caietain
Fabrice-Marin Caietain or Fabrice Cajetan (fl. 1570-1578) was an Italian singer, songwriter and song publisher. Life and career Fabrice Cajetan was born in Gaeta, Italy, and lived in France during the latter Sixteenth century. He was employed as Master of Singers at the Toul Cathedral for the Dukes of Lorraine, succeeding Pierre Clereau. In 1571 in Paris, he began publishing collections of songs set to music, including ''Livre de chansons nouvelles mises en musique à six parties'' and ''Liber primus''. In one preface, Caietain stated that he was especially influenced by Joachim Thibault de Courville and the Académie de Poésie et de Musique. Although de Courville published none of his own music, it is presumed that some of the chansons published by Caietain contained passages or were stylistic copies of de Courville's work. Caietain also published the works of La Pléiade, including Pierre de Ronsard, Jean-Antoine de Baif and Joachim Du Bellay, and also Jean Bertaut, Philippe De ...

Floruit
''Floruit'' (; abbreviated fl. or occasionally flor.; from Latin for "they flourished") denotes a date or period during which a person was known to have been alive or active. In English, the unabbreviated word may also be used as a noun indicating the time when someone flourished. Etymology and use la, flōruit is the third-person singular perfect active indicative of the Latin verb ', ' "to bloom, flower, or flourish", from the noun ', ', "flower". Broadly, the term is employed in reference to the peak of activity for a person or movement. More specifically, it often is used in genealogy and historical writing when a person's birth or death dates are unknown, but some other evidence exists that indicates when they were alive. For example, if there are wills attested by John Jones in 1204, and 1229, and a record of his marriage in 1197, a record concerning him might be written as "John Jones (fl. 1197–1229)". The term is often used in art history when dating the care ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Philippe Desportes
Philippe Desportes or Desports (1546 – 5 October 1606) was a French poet.Jean Balsamo. Philippe Desports (1546-1606) Volume 62 of Actes et colloques. Editor, Contributor, Jean Balsamo. Publisher, Klincksieck, 2000 Biography Philippe Desportes was born in Chartres. While serving as secretary to the Bishop of Le Puy he visited Italy, where he learned Italian poetry. This experience became a good account. On his return to France he attached himself to the duke of Anjou, and followed him to Cracow on his election as king of Poland. Nine months in Poland satisfied the civilized Desportes, but in 1574 his patron became king of France as Henry III. He showered favours on the poet, who received, in reward for the skill with which he wrote occasional poems at the royal request, the abbey of Tiron and four other valuable benefices. A good example of the light and dainty verse in which Desportes excelled is furnished by the well-known ''villanelle'' with the refrain "Qui premier s' ...

Jean Bertaut
Jean Bertaut (1552 – 8 June 1611), French poet, was born at Caen. Life He figures with Philippe Desportes in the disdainful couplet of Boileau on Ronsard: "''Ce poëte orgueilleux, trébuché de si haut,'' ''Rendit plus retenus Desportes et Bertaut.''" He wrote light verse to celebrate the incidents of court life in the manner of Desportes, but his verse is more fantastic and fuller of conceits than his master's. He early entered the church, and had a share in the conversion of Henry IV, a circumstance which assured his career. He was successively councillor of the ''parlement'' of Grenoble, secretary to the king, almoner to Marie de' Medici, abbot of the of Aunay-sur-Odon and finally, in 1606, bishop of Sées A bishop is an ordained clergy member who is entrusted with a position of authority and oversight in a religious institution.

It was founded in 1570 under the auspices of Charles IX of France by the poet Jean-Antoine de Baïf and the musician Joachim Thibault de Courville.Grove, Academy Overview The purpose of the Académie was to revive Classical Greek and Roman poetry and music. It met regularly at Baïf's house in Paris, and had two classes of members — "musicians", or poets, singers and instrumentalists; and "auditors", or subscribers who helped support the academy financially. Baïf's intention was to revitalise and transform French poetry by applying the ancient metres (''vers mesurés à l'antique'') to it, and combining it with simple music following ancient metres ('' musique mesurée à l'antique''). Although the ostensible purpose of the Académie was musico-poetic, Baïf's goals were much more ambitious – he hoped that through ...
