Objet Linda V. TROOST : 'Barthelemon, François Hippolyte', Grove Music Online ed. L. Macy (Accessed 28 May 2004), http://www.grovemusic.com :
"Barthelemon [Barthélemon], François Hippolyte (b Bordeaux, 27 July 1741; d Christ Church, Surrey, 20 July 1808). French composer active in England. Having studied the violin in Paris and played in the orchestra of the Comédie-Italienne, he went to England in 1764 to lead the band at the King’s Theatre and, later, at Marylebone Gardens. He impressed David Garrick of Drury Lane with the quality of his Italian opera Pelopida (1766) and his speed of composition (he set a verse as quickly as Garrick could write the text). Essentially a composer in the galant style best suited to background music, he could compose in a variety of modes: the burletta Orpheus in Garrick’s afterpiece A Peep behind the Curtain (1767), for instance, parodies the revenge aria and the sentimental English ballad. He enjoyed another success with The Maid of the Oaks (1774). […] Barthelemon also composed ballet music for the King’s Theatre."
