Jean-Baptiste Morin (2 February 1677 – 27 April 1745) was a French composer and the Ordinaire de la Musique to Philippe, Duke of Orléans before and perhaps during his regency.
From 1719 to 1731 Morin was Maître de musique of Louise Adélaïde d'Orléans, daughter of the Duke, at the royal abbey of Chelles, near Paris.
He penned numerous works, including most famously a set of cantatas (published between 1706 and 1712).
[1] Morin noted in the preface to the 1706 edition his efforts "to retain the sweetness of the French style of melody, but with greater variety in the accompaniments, and employing those tempos and modulations characteristic of the Italian cantata.
[3] He also published two famous books of (petits) Motets (1704, 2nd edition 1748; 1709) and a Processional for Chelles (1726).
