John H. BARON/Georgie DUROSOIR: 'Moulinié, Etienne', Grove Music Online ed. L. Macy (Accessed 14 June 2004), http://www.grovemusic.com :
"Moulinié [Moulinier, Moulinière, Molinié], Etienne
(b Languedoc, c1600; d Languedoc, after 1669). French composer. As a child he sang in the choir of Narbonne Cathedral. In 1624 he came to Paris, where his elder brother Antoine (d Paris, 8 Aug 1655) was a singer in the king’s chamber. Antoine recognized Etienne’s talent and used his influence as a valet and officer in the royal service to assist his career. In 1628 Etienne became director of music to Gaston of Orléans, the king’s younger brother, and remained in this post until Gaston’s death on 2 February 1660; Gaston was fond of music and particularly of ballets de cour. Moulinié wrote both sacred and secular music, for one or more voices unaccompanied or accompanied by either lute or continuo, and also composed music for ballets and dance pieces for other occasions. From 1634 to 1649 he served as music master to Gaston’s daughter, Mlle de Montpensier, for whose Ballet des quatres monarchies chrétiennes (1635) he composed the solo airs. After Gaston’s death he received a small payment from his estate, but it was necessary for him at a relatively advanced age to seek new employment. In 1661 he became director of music to the estates of Languedoc and remained so until his death."
