"D’Anglebert, Jean Henry
(bap. Bar-le-Duc, 1 April 1629; d Paris, 23 April 1691). French composer, harpsichordist and organist. His father, Claude Henry dit Anglebert, was a prosperous master shœmaker at Bar-le-Duc (Meuse). Henry was the name of the family, in which Anglebert was a traditional first name. […] He is thought to have been a pupil of Chambonnières […] He is first known in Paris from the contract of his marriage (11 October 1659) to Magdelaine Champagne, sister-in-law of the goldsmith and organist François Roberday. In it D'Anglebert is described as bourgeois de Paris, indicating that he was by that time well established there.
His first professional appointment appears to have been as organist to the Jacobins in the rue Saint-Honoré, where he was employed when they contracted for a new organ from the builder Étienne Énocq (26 January 1660). […] D'Anglebert's involvement in music at court began about this time. In August 1660 he purchased the charge of ordinaire de la musique pour le clavecin to the Duke of Orléans, brother of Louis XIV, in succession to Henry Du Mont, a post he held until at least 1668. […] Later that year D'Anglebert formally entered the king's service by buying (23 October) the reversion of the post of harpsichordist from the disaffected Chambonnières, in an arrangement whereby Chambonnières kept the emoluments but D'Anglebert took over the duties. He was thenceforth entitled ordinaire de la musique de la chambre du roi pour le clavecin.
His activities as court musician and his admiration for Lully are evident in harpsichord arrangements of pieces from Lully's stage works. They are the finest examples of many such arrangements […] The pieces must have been very familiar to him as continuo player or even participant on stage, as in the Mascarade de Versailles in which he appeared along with other musicians (18 January 1668) and whose overture is among those he arranged."
