    Objet [extrait de:] Catherine CESSAC: 'Jean-Fery Rebel', Grove Music Online ed. L. Macy (Accessed 9 June 2004), http://www.grovemusic.com :
    "Jean-Fery Rebel [le père] (b Paris, bap. 18 April 1666; d Paris, 2 Jan 1747). Violinist, harpsichordist, conductor and composer, son of Jean Rebel. He showed talent for music by the age of eight. Having attracted the notice of Lully, he became his pupil in violin and composition. The Mercure galant mentioned him in December 1700 as one of the ‘instrumentalists from the Opéra’who accompanied Philippe of Anjou to Spain. From 18 August 1705 he was one of the 24 Violons du Roi and then became batteur de mesure in that ensemble and in the Opéra orchestra. On 30 March 1718 he obtained from Michel-Richard de Lalande rights of reversion to the post of chamber composer to the king, and he duly succeeded his brother-in-law in this post on Lalande's death. He and his son François were also musicians in the royal chapel. […] He married Claude-Catherine Couty and had six children: François, Madeleine-Angélique, Jean-Charles, Hélène-Julie, Louise-Anne and Anne-Louise. As he grew older he gradually gave up his various posts in favour of his son François.
    At the age of 36 he composed his only opera, Ulysse, which proved unsuccessful when performed at the Académie Royale (it had only ‘5 or 6 performances’according to a note on one of the extant copies). A fragment (Act 3 scene v) was revived in Télémaque, ou Les fragments des modernes by Danchet and Campra, performed in 1704.
    Rebel's dance music, on the other hand, was extremely successful. His first such work was a Caprice choreographed for the famous Mademoiselle Prévost. The work was revived several times between its composition and 1749. Les caractères de la danse, a highly original piece, was performed by the most famous women dancers of the period, Françoise Prévost, Marie Sallé and Marie-Anne Cupis de Camargo. It was even staged in England in 1725."
