JOHN H. BARON : 'Bataille, Gabriel', Grove Music Online ed. L. Macy (Accessed 27 May 2004), http://www.grovemusic.com :
"Bataille, Gabriel
(b ?Brie, c1575; d Paris, 17 Dec 1630). French composer and lutenist. Allusions to Brie in his pœtry suggest that he may have come from that province. When he married on 12 February 1600 he was already in Paris. He had not at first been a professional musician: in his marriage contract he stated that he was a clerk to Germain Regnault, a member of parliament. By 1608, however, when Pierre Ballard published the first volume of Bataille’s Airs de différents autheurs, mis en tablature de luth, he was actively engaged in music. In 1614 he was listed as a maître de musique. From 1619 until his death he was a member of the musical establishment of the queen, alternating the directorship each half-year with Antoine Boësset. […] When he died, both his sons, Gabriel (c1614–76) and Pierre, were musicians in the service of the queen.
Bataille’s importance lies largely in his arrangements for solo voice and lute of polyphonic airs de cour by some of the leading court composers. […]
Bataille also wrote his own songs. […] A few, such as Bacchus droit, are typical chansons pour boire. He originally composed others for ballets de cour – Ballet du roi (c1616), La délivrance de Renaud (1617), Ballet de Monseigneur le Prince (1620), Ballet des favoris (c1626) and Ballet des proverbes (c1626) – but he never gained an important enough position at court to be able to compose as often for this major genre as did Guédron and Boësset."
