    "Candeille, Pierre Joseph (b Estaires, 8 Dec 1744; d Chantilly, 24 April 1827). French composer and singer, father of Julie Candeille. He was educated at St Pierre, Lille. He joined the chorus of the Paris Opéra as a basse-taille in 1767, and that of the Concert Spirituel in 1769, holding both places until 1781 except during 1771–3 when, probably after quarrelling with the Opéra director Dauvergne, he left Paris for Moulins. His daughter asserted that he was director of the Concert de Moulins, and that he spent some of this period in Italy and Germany. From 1777 Candeille had ballets and divertissements performed at various theatres including that of the Duke of Orléans, the Comédie Française and the Opéra. He also had considerable success at the Concert Spirituel with his motets and, in 1784, with his First Symphony. His first major stage work was Laure et Pétrarque (1778), which failed partly because of Moline’s text. From 1784 he devoted himself almost entirely to composition, although his career was marked by failure as an opera composer; only Castor et Pollux, which received 130 performances between 1791 and 1800, achieved real success. He rejoined the Opéra as choirmaster (1800–02, 1804–5) and then retired to Chantilly with a pension of 1500 francs, which was continued under Louis XVIII. He received two additional gratuities of 600 francs when Castor et Pollux was revived for 22 more performances between 1814 and 1817, after the failure of Winter’s opera of the same name."
