Jean de Bournonville

Jean de Bournonville[1] was a French composer active in the first third of the 17th century, born in Noyon around 1585 and died in Paris on 27 May 1632.

He should not be confused with his son Valentin de Bournonville, who published masses in the middle of the 17th century.

[2] In 1613 Bournonville offered to the chapter of the Cambrai Cathedral a bound collection of his masses (probably the Parisian editions of Pierre I Ballard).

[8] He took possession of his post on 3 January 1632, after taking an oath, and was installed "in the lower chairs on the right side, not having the order of priesthood".

[9] He was also mentioned by Annibal Gantez, in 1643: comme un Bournonville qui est mort maistre de la Saincte Chapelle, et qui a laissé son fils aussi vertueux que luy maistre de l'Église d’Amiens.
