"Morin, Jean-Baptiste
(b Orléans, 2 Feb 1677; d Paris, 27 April 1745). French composer. The sixth of nine children born to Michel Morin, weaver, and Catherine Robié, he was baptized as ‘Jean’. He was a choirboy at St Aignan in Orléans until at least 1692, where his master was Canon Oliver Trembloit. In about 1698 he moved to Paris, where he regularly attended the concerts at St André-des-Arts and met the pœt Jean Serré de Rieux, a lover of Italian music, to whom he attached himself. He became ordinaire de la musique in the service of the Duke of Orléans (the future regent) in about 1701, and took part in musical soirées at Sceaux. […]
Morin lived with ‘Mr de Seré’and his family from some date probably earlier than 1708 until 1720. In about 1721 Serré retired to Rieux, near Beauvais. […] Still ordinaire to the regent, Morin entered the service of the regent's daughter Louise-Adélaïde, abbess of Chelles, in 1719 as maître de la chapelle et de la chambre. Eventually he became surintendant de la musique at this Benedictine convent, which was still enjoying a long and prestigious history (the princess's demoiselle d'honneur was the pœtess Marthe de Dangy). […] He was made a chevalier-servant de Saint-Lazare on 21 December 1722, and the princess awarded him a life pension of 500 livres from her private purse, then (on 26 October 1723) an additional 1500 livres from the archdiocese of Rouen (the see to which the regent's almoner was appointed the following day).
After leaving the princess's service, Morin lived from 1731 to 1743 in the house of a Parisian equerry, Jean-Baptiste-Hubert de la Fontaine, who had close ties with the convent at Chelles. […]"
