"Perne, François-Louis
(b Paris, 4 Oct 1772; d Laon, 26 May 1832). French music historian, composer, singer and double bass player. […] He sang in the chorus of the Opéra from 1792 until 1799, then played the double bass in the Opéra orchestra until 1816. He was appointed professor of harmony at the Conservatoire in 1813, having worked as Catel’s assistant from 1811. In 1815 he was entrusted with the administration of the Conservatoire, serving as inspector general from 1816 to 1822 and succeeding the Abbé Roze as librarian in 1819. He also played the double bass in the orchestra of the Tuileries chapel from its reopening in 1802. He retired in 1822 to the département of Aisne, where he continued private studies until his death.
Perne is best known for his writings on the history of music. […]
He wrote few compositions, of which none has enjoyed a high reputation. Besides two masses and a few smaller sacred choral works, he composed incidental music for Racine’s Esther, an Andante for obœ and orchestra and some piano music, of which the Six sonates faciles are noteworthy."
