    "Boësset, Antoine [Anthoine] (de), Sieur de Villedieu (b Blois, 1586; d Paris, 8 Dec 1643). French composer. He was appointed Maître des enfants de la musique de la chambre du roy in 1613, Maître de la musique de la reine in 1617, Sécretaire de la chambre du roy in 1620, Surintendant de la musique de la chambre du roy in 1623 and Conseiller et maître d’hotel ordinaire du roy in 1634; he held most if not all of these posts simultaneously until his death. He was widely recognized as the leading composer of airs de cour, the first of which appeared in anthologies from 1608. Some 200 airs for four and five voices from his nine published books were intabulated for lute, and in 1689 J.-B.-C. Ballard produced collections of the polyphonic airs. […] The airs exhibit great melodic beauty, and the irregularity of polyphonic texture, conceived to give a certain theatricality to the pœms, makes his works sound very modern. Contrasts of language, rhythm and scoring contribute to the expressiveness of the music, but the declamatory writing found in the works of Guédron has no place. From the seventh book of 1630 the instruction ‘basse continue pour les instruments’appears several times, representing the first printed reference to basso continuo by a French composer. As Surintendant de la musique de la chambre Boësset wrote the music for many ballets, but there is no evidence that he composed sacred music; the motets and masses bearing his name can almost certainly be attributed to his son Jean-Baptiste."
