    [extrait de:] Bernard BARDET : 'Michel Mazuel', Grove Music Online, ed. L. Macy (Accessed 23 March 2004), http://www.grovemusic.com :
    "Michel Mazuel (b Paris, 1603; d 1676). Instrumentalist and composer, the son of Jean Mazuel. He joined musical associations in 1618 and 1626 as a player of the violin and cornett, and was playing the obœ with the Musique de l'Ecurie in 1644. […] He entered the 24 Violons du Roi in 1643. After taking composition lessons from a Parisian organist and while assisting in the composition of court ballets during the regency of Anne of Austria, he was appointed compositeur de la musique des 24 Violons in May 1654. He was one of the violinists who escorted actors in Lully's ballets Les plaisirs de l'île enchantée (1664), Le carnaval (1668), Flore (1669), Psyché (1671) and Ballet des ballets (also 1671). He left the 24 Violons in 1674. The Philidor collection (F-Pn), i, includes a suite à 2 and an allemande à 5 by him, and volumes iv, vi and vii of the same collection contain music for ballets written in collaboration with Vertpré and Louis de Mollier for the young Louis XIV."
