    "Granier [Garnier, Grenier], Louis (b Toulouse, 1740; d Toulouse, 1800). French composer and violinist. He was related to François Granier. He studied in Toulouse and his first important position was in Bordeaux, where he directed the opera; he travelled to Brussels in 1765. His first known composition, a set of choruses for Racine’s Athalie, dates from this period.
    Granier went to Paris in 1766 and was engaged by the Opéra orchestra as a second violinist in that year. His most successful work, the opera Théonis (produced at the Opéra, 1767), was written in collaboration with P.-M. Berton and J.-C. Trial, then directors of the Opéra. […] At this time Granier became attached to the chapel of Charles of Lorraine.
    Granier left Paris in 1770 to become music director at the Théâtre du Capitole in Toulouse; his wife was engaged as principal dancer. On his return to Paris in 1773, he divided his time between duties as a violinist in several orchestras, and composing and arranging ballets and operas. He played first violin in the Chapelle du Roi from 1773 and, in 1775, at the Concert Spirituel. In 1777 he served as an assistant to the director of the Opéra. He reworked three ballets for Noverre and Vestris, and wrote additional music for four operas by Campra, Marais and Lully. In 1786 he received a pension and retired to Toulouse.
    Granier is chiefly remembered through his association with Berton and Trial; he met them both in Bordeaux, where the latter conducted the orchestra and he may have been Trial’s composition teacher in Montpellier."
