Catherine CESSAC: 'Jean Rebel', Grove Music Online ed. L. Macy (Accessed 9 June 2004), http://www.grovemusic.com :
"Jean Rebel (b Paris, c1636; d Versailles, 1692). Singer. The son of Antoine Rebel, a shœmaker, he entered the royal chapel as a tenor in 1661. In 1672 he combined this post with that of chantre ordinaire de la reine and was described as a countertenor. He also took part in court ballets (Ballet royal des muses, 1666; Suite du carnaval, 1668; Divertissements de Chambord and Ballet royal de Flore, 1669; Le bourgeois gentilhomme, 1670). He sang and conducted the orchestra in the Ballet des ballets (1671) and participated in the first performances of Lully's early tragédies lyriques, Cadmus et Hermione, Alceste and Isis. In April 1683 he took part in a competition for posts at the royal chapel, but failed on the second test. He was married to Anne Nolson and had five children: Louis-François, Marie-Thérèse, Jean-Fery, Anne-Renée and another daughter who became a nun at Saint-Cyr. When his wife died he married Françoise Cantais, who bore him six children: Jean-Thomas (1675–1718), who became symphoniste de la chambre, Louis, Hélène, another Louis, Arnoult and Marie-Anne. His third wife, Nicole Michelet, bore him another daughter, Marie-Thérèse. His brother Robert was an ordinaire de la musique du roi."
