He was a famous composer in his time. He was in the service of François I, Henri II and Hippolyte d’Este around 1550-1560,
and Hippolyte d’Este around 1550-1560. He is the author of fifty songs for four voices, on gallant texts
published between 1538 and 1556. Some of his songs are inspired by the style of Claudin de
