Charles Mouton

Charles Mouton (1617 - before 1699) was a French lutenist and composer.

There were musicians in Mouton's mother's family, one of whom worked at the French court.

[1] In 1680 he was back in Paris; his students at this time included René Milleran and Philipp Franz Le Sage de Richée.

[1] It was in this period (before 1679 and c. 1680) that Mouton published two books of his compositions, Pièces de luth sur différents modes.

Mouton and his contemporary Jacques Gallot are two of the last noteworthy French composers for the lute.
