CUTHBERT GIRDLESTONE/JEAN-PAUL MONTAGNIER: 'Philippe de Bourbon', Grove Music Online ed. L. Macy (Accessed 9 June 2004), http://www.grovemusic.com :
"Philippe de Bourbon
(b St Cloud, 2 Aug 1674; d Versailles, 2 Dec 1723). He was Duke of Chartres and (after the death of his father in 1701) Duke of Orléans, and from 1715 Regent of France. A nephew of Louis XIV, he grew up in Paris and played the flute, guitar, harpsichord and viol. He studied music with Etienne Loulié and composition with Marc-Antoine Charpentier, Nicolas Bernier and Charles-Hubert Gervais, his lifelong valet whom he appointed intendant of his music in 1700. He was keenly interested in Italian music and employed both French and Italian musicians. His earliest known work was an opera, Philomèle, written in collaboration with Charpentier in 1694 and played three times in his residence, the Palais Royal. The duke forbade its publication and it is lost. Helped by Gervais, he composed Penthée, an opera which was probably rehearsed on 21 October 1703 at Fontainebleau and performed on 16 July 1705 and 15 March 1709 at the Palais Royal; the libretto was by Marquis de la Fare, his captain of the guard, and was published in the marquis's Poésies (1755). The Suite d'Armide, ou Jerusalem délivrée, also written in collaboration with Gervais, was rehearsed on 2 October 1704 at Fontainebleau, sung at the Palais Royal in February 1705, and perhaps again at Fontainebleau on 17 October 1712. The libretto, based on Tasso's epic, was by the duke's former tutor Bernard Requeleyne, Baron de Longepierre; it was printed, without the prologue, in 1812 by Nicolas Moreau. The duke again forbade publication of these two operas, but they survive in manuscript (in F-Pa). Philippe is said to have assisted also in the composition of Gervais's Hypermnestre (1716): the two tambourins of Act 2 are indeed heard in Penthée (Act 2). […] Philippe's operatic music is italianate in style, brilliantly orchestrated and includes some fine airs."
