    DAVID TUNLEY: 'César-François-Nicolas Clérambault', Grove Music Online ed. L. Macy (Accessed 1 June 2004), http://www.grovemusic.com :
    "César-François-Nicolas Clérambault (bur. Paris, 30 Oct 1760). Organist and composer, son of Louis-Nicolas Clérambault. It was probably this son who was known as Clérambault le fils, and if that is so he was the composer of the cantatas La coquette (Paris, 1731), Le danger de la nuit (Paris, c1732) and the cantatille Erminie (Paris, c1735), as well as a divertissement, Le temple de Paphos, performed at the Tuileries in one of Philidor's so-called Concerts Français in 1729. Settings of Racine's Esther and Athalie for performances in 1756 are attributed to him. He succeeded his father at Saint-Cyr, St Sulpice and at the Jacobins; there is reason to believe that he and his brother had previously helped their father at these establishments."
