Julian RUSHTON/Rebecca HARRIS-WARRICK 'Jacques Danican Philidor', Grove Music Online ed. L. Macy (Accessed 15 June 2004), http://www.grovemusic.com :
"Jacques Danican Philidor [le cadet] (b Paris, 5 May 1657; d Versailles, 29 May 1708). Instrumentalist and composer, son of Jean Danican and younger brother of André Danican Philidor l’aîné. In 1667 he joined his father in the Fifres et Tambours, a position which took him on several military campaigns. When his father died in 1679 he took over his post among the Cromornes et Trompettes Marines and in 1682 he joined the Grands Hautbois. In 1690 he became an official member of the Petits Violons as a bassoonist and he also performed in the royal chapel. He appears also to have been an instrument maker; when he died he owned ‘tools serving to make musical instruments’in addition to 44 instruments, most of them woodwinds. Only a few of his marches and dances survive in manuscript anthologies; the volumes of the Philidor Collection containing more of his works have been lost.
Philidor le cadet had 12 children, among whom four were musicians: Pierre Danican Philidor; Jacques Danican Philidor (ii) (b Paris, 7 Sept 1686; d Pamplona, 25 June 1709), who was to have inherited his father's position in the Fifres et Tambours but was killed in Spain while serving as a drummer in the guards of the Duke of Orléans; François Danican Philidor (ii) (b Versailles, 12 Jan 1695; d Paris, 27 Oct 1726), who joined the Grands Hautbois in 1716 after also having served as a drummer to the Duke of Orléans, and who at the time of his death had the title of timpanist to the Queen of Spain; and Nicolas Danican Philidor (b Versailles, 1 Nov 1699; d Versailles, 8 Sept 1769), who succeeded his brother Pierre as a grand hautbois (1726) and as a viol player in the king's chamber (1731) and later played serpent in the royal chapel."
