    "Bourgeois, Thomas-Louis [Joseph] (b Fontaine-L'Evêque, 24 Oct 1676; d Paris, Jan 1750 or 1751). French composer and singer. His name first appears as a composer in 1701 when two volumes of Pièces en trio were published in Paris by Ballard. He is next heard of as maître de musique at Strasbourg Cathedral where he worked from 1703 to 1706. According to the title-page of his ballet Les plaisirs de la paix (1715) he at some time held a similar position at Toul. From 1708 to 1711 he sang at the Paris Opéra; La Borde spoke highly of his countertenor voice. Bourgeois' last major appointment was as surintendant de la musique to the Duke of Bourbon in whose service he worked from 1715 to 1721, after which he seems to have led a professional life that took him from one provincial city to another, including Lille, Lyons, Poitiers and Dijon, and also to Belgium and the Netherlands. His last years are obscure and he died in poverty.
    Bourgeois contributed significantly to the 18th-century French cantata. […]
    He also wrote ballets and divertissements, two of which, Les amours déguisés and Les plaisirs de la paix, were performed at the Paris Opéra. Bourgeois contributed to the Duchess of Maine's celebrated entertainments known as Les nuits de Sceaux with his divertissement Le comte de Gabalis (1714), and collaborated with Jacques Aubert in Diane, performed at court in 1721. Some of his divertissements were written and performed in the provinces where he worked, but few have survived."

    "Bourgeois, Thomas-Louis(-Joseph) […] After publishing two collections of Pièces en trios in 1701 and holding posts as maître de chapelle at Toul and Strasbourg cathedrals, he went to Paris, where he gained a post as a singer with the Opéra in 1707. As a haute-contre, he appears in several cast-lists of librettos, including those of his own two opéras-ballets, Les amours déguisés (1713) and Les plaisirs de la paix (1715). After the death of Louis XIV he continued his career in the Netherlands, where in 1725 he was conducting the Opéra of The Hague. […]"
