"Madin [?Madden], Henri
(b Verdun, 7 Oct 1698; d Versailles, 3 Feb 1748). French composer and priest of Irish origin. He worked in the diocese of Verdun, and in 1719 he was maître de musique at Meaux Cathedral, returning to Verdun to work at the cathedral in 1726. He became master of the choir school at Tours Cathedral in 1730 and at Rouen Cathedral from 1737 to 1741. On 25 January 1738 he was appointed sous-maître de musique of the royal chapel. He was honoured as ‘chanoine de St-Quentin’in 1741, but the presentation ceremony was not held until 1746. In 1742 he succeeded Campra as maître des pages de la chapelle.
Madin’s works include four a cappella masses in contrapuntal style and 29 grands motets, 25 of which are listed as having been written for the royal chapel. […] The motets ‘à grand chœur et symphonie’were performed at Versailles until 1792, and Diligam te Domine and Notus in Judea were popular at the Concert Spirituel until 1762. […]"
