Loïsa Puget

Loïsa Puget was born in Paris, her proper first names were Louise Françoise.

Her mother was a singer and saw that her daughter received a musical education including study at the same school as George Sand.

After completing her studies, Puget composed and performed her own music in salons and married her lyricist Gustave Lemoine (1802–1885) in 1845.

Many of her songs also appeared in editions with guitar accompaniment, some of which were made by prominent guitarists such as Matteo Carcassi.

[1] In 1841, Lemoine and Adolphe d'Ennery wrote a melodrama based on Puget's most successful song À la grâce de Dieu, which provided the idea for Donizetti's Linda di Chamounix.
