    "Boësset [Boëcet, Boisset, Bouesset], Jean Baptiste (de), Sieur de Dehault (b Paris, 29 Feb 1614; d Paris, 25 Dec 1685). French composer, eldest son of Antoine Boësset. He served the French court in various posts for nearly half a century. He inherited from his father the post of surintendant de la musique de la chambre, a half-yearly position which he shared with Auget, Cambefort and Jean-Baptiste Lully (i). Like his father he was Maître de la musique de la reine mère, until his demotion in favour of Cambert, and from 1662 Maître de musique de la chambre, Chantre and Maître des enfants, positions which he held until his death. He was also Gentilhomme de la chambre in 1646, Chevalier in 1648, Conseiller et maître d’hôtel du roi in 1651 and Maître de la musique de la reine in 1660; he sold this last title to Lorenzani in 1679. As well as four airs de cour, included in his father’s eighth book of Airs of 1632, he wrote two operas: La mort d’Adonis, performed for the king in 1678, and Alphée et Arétuse, given ‘at Fontainebleau in concert form’shortly after his death in 1686 (see Mercure galant, November 1686). He also collaborated in 12 ballets de cour from 1653 to 1666. Loret describes him as a composer of motets and Brossard attributes seven motets to him which appear under the name of Boësset only in a manuscript in the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris.
    Boësset’s son, Claude Jean Baptiste, Sieur de Launay, inherited the title of Maître de musique de la chambre du roi from his father (<;;;)"
