Jean Henry D’Anglebert
(Bar-le-Duc, bap. 1 April 1629 - Paris, 23 April 1691)
French composer, harpsichordist and organist. Nothing is known of his early musical training or how he came to Paris. He is thought to have been a pupil of Jacques Champion de Chambonnières. After serving in the position of first organist to the Duke of Orleans and to the Jacobins in the rue St. Honore in Paris, he was made 'ordinaire de la chambre du Roy pour le clavecin' by Louis XIV in 1662, a post he held until at least 1668. After 1679 D'Anglebert was also in the service of the Dauphine Marie-Anne de Bavière, Duchess of Burgundy. As a composer, he was mainly known by his 'Pieces de clavecin avec la maniere de les jouer' (Paris, 1689), which contains 4 dance suites, 5 organ fugues, transcriptions of popular tunes, arrangements of works by Lully, a treatise on keyboard harmony, and a table of ornaments, with many new signs that were widely accepted. The volum stands as a major source for the French Baroque style. His son, Jean-Baptiste Henri D'Anglebert (1661-1735), succeeded him at the French court.
