[extrait de:] John H. BARON: 'Boyer, Jean', Grove Music Online ed. L. Macy (Accessed 31 May 2004), http://www.grovemusic.com :
"Boyer, Jean
(b before 1600; d Paris, before 16 May 1648). French composer and viol player. He composed airs for several ballets de cour: Ballet des forgerons (1617), Ballet de M. de Nemours (1618) and Ballet de la folie (1618). He dedicated his Airs (1621) to the Duchess of Nemours, whose husband helped develop the ballet de cour; perhaps Boyer was in the employ of the Nemours family. He may have been the Boyer who went to Savoy in 1628 with three other Parisian musicians to serve the court there; he is less likely to have been the Boyer who was director of music at the collegiate church of St Agricol at Avignon from 1626 to 1629. […] On 29 January 1636 Jean Boyer succeeded Gabriel Caignet as viol player in the royal chamber, a position he maintained until his death. Some time after taking up the post he became secretary of the chamber and ordinaire of music of the king and queen."
