David TUNLEY: 'Louis-Nicolas Clérambault', Grove Music Online ed. L. Macy (Accessed 4 June 2004), http://www.grovemusic.com :
"Louis-Nicolas Clérambault (b Paris, 19 Dec 1676; d Paris, 26 Oct 1749). Organist and composer, son of Dominique Clérambault.
Louis-Nicolas showed precocious musical talents. He probably received his earliest training from his father, in violin and harpsichord playing. He studied the organ with André Raison […] His other teacher was Jean-Baptiste Moreau (1656–1733), with whom he studied composition and singing. In 1707 Clérambault was organist of the Grands-Augustins in Paris, but like his forebears he found service in the royal household. His first appointment in this capacity was as supervisor of the concerts arranged by Mme de Maintenon for Louis XIV in the last few years of the king's life; this was followed by an appointment as organist of the Maison Royale de Saint-Cyr, near Versailles, after the death of Nivers in 1714. He also took over Nivers' position at St Sulpice in Paris about the same time. Clérambault may have been assisting Nivers for some time before his death; in an archival document, according to Brossard, Clérambault used the title ‘organiste de la maison royale de Saint-Louis à Saint-Cyr, et de l'église paroissiale Saint-Sulpice’six months before Nivers died. […] Clérambault's duties were mainly concerned with playing the organ for the special services during the year, and training the girls' voices from time to time. There were also occasions when the pupils took part in semi-dramatic performances. Racine's Esther (set to music by Moreau) was written specially for them, and in later years Clérambault was to provide them with his L'idile de Saint-Cyr. Some years later he relinquished his position at Saint-Cyr in favour of one of his sons (probably César-François-Nicolas), but owing to the lack of first names in the official documents relating to their work there, it is not known for certain when this change was made (Bert believed that it was as early as 1721). Nevertheless, Clérambault le père, as he was to become known, retained his association with Saint Cyr. On the death of Raison in 1719 Clérambault was named his successor at the Jacobins in rue St Jacques in Paris, an appointment which he accepted in addition to that at St Sulpice.
His prestige remained high for the rest of his life. […] From his marriage to Marie-Marguerite Grulé (before 1709) there were seven children, of whom three survived infancy; they included two sons who inherited positions held by their illustrious father."
