    "Légat de Furcy [Furci, Fursy; Legal Defurcy], Antoine (b Maubeuge, c1740; d after 1789). French composer, harpsichordist and organist. Directed towards an ecclesiastical career, he studied philosophy in Paris, where he also took lessons in harmony and keyboard playing from Charles Noblet, befriended Rameau and took part in the concerts of the Prince of Conti. Between 1759 and 1769 he served as organist at St-Germain-le-Vieil. He was organist at the Carmelite monastery in the Place Maubert from 1770 at least until 1787, by which time he had also become organist at Sainte-Croix-de-la-Bretonnerie. He was primarily active as a singing and harpsichord teacher and as a composer of charming keyboard pieces and of many light cantatilles and ariettes. […] Légat de Furcy also attempted a career as a theatrical composer, but none of his several operas was performed or published. […]"
