He received his early musical training at the metropolitan church of St Sauveur in Aix-en-Provence, where he was a chorister from 1657 and later sub-deacon (1666) and organist (1669) when G. Poitevin was maître de chapelle. He abandoned his ecclesiastical career in 1671 and left Aix-en-Provence. From 1679 he was at court in Versailles as harpsichordist and organist to Queen Marie Thérèse and viol player in the king’s chamber music from 1713 (perhaps from 1706) until 1720 or 1727.

Later he acquired a reputation as a gamba player, serving until 1720 or 1727 as ordinaire de la musique de la chambre. Titon du Tillet regarded Salomon as a minor musician who abruptly emerged as a reputable opera composer with the positive reception of the tragédie en musique, Médée et Jason (prol., 5, S.-J. Pellegrin, after Ovid: Metamorphoses; Paris, Opéra, 24 April 1713; F-Pn / R 1990: FO, xvii). Salomon’s attempt to repeat this achievement with a second tragédie en musique, Théonoé (prol., 5, La Roque [Pellegrin]; Paris, Opéra, 3 Dec 1715), was however unsuccessful. As an opera composer he was soon overshadowed by his more illustrious contemporaries […]"
