Martin-Joseph Adrien

Martin-Joseph Adrien (also Andrien dit la Neuville; 26 May 1766 – 19 November 1822) was a French operatic bass.

In March 1822 Martin-Joseph succeeded Lainé as professor of declamation at the École royale de musique.

There are two surviving songs which deal with the aftermath of the French Revolution and foreign invasion.

[3] Martin-Joseph and Gabrielle-Constance issued two equally talented musicians: Atala Thérèse Adrien (1814-1865), wife of the French composer Pierre-François Wartel (1806-1882) and Rosine-Charlotte Adrien, the wife of renowned music teacher François Alexandre Nicolas Chéri Delsarte (1811-1871).

Among DelSarte's notable descendants stands out the painters Marie Magdeleine Real del Sarte, née DelSarte, (1853-1927) and Thérèse Geraldy (1884-1865), and the sculptor Maxime Réal del Sarte .
