James R. ANTHONY/Lionel SAWKINS: 'Lalande, Michel-Richard de', Grove Music Online ed. L. Macy (Accessed 9 June 2004), http://www.grovemusic.com :
"In July 1684 Lalande married the singer Anne Rebel, daughter of Jean Rebel, ordinaire de la musique du roy, and half-sister of Jean-Fery Rebel […] The couple had two daughters, Marie-Anne (b 1686) and Jeanne (b 1687), both of whom became well-known singers; they were rewarded for their industry by Louis XIV, who in 1706 gave each a pension of 1000 livres, while expressing a wish that they should sing during his Mass. Tannevot stated that ‘it is to them that we owe those beautiful soprano solos which M. De la Lande composed in response to the beauty of their voices’. Unfortunately both succumbed to smallpox in May 1711."
