MARGARET M. McGOWAN : "La Marre, de" Grove Music Online ed. L. Macy (Accessed 9 March 2004), http://www.grovemusic.com :
"La Marre, de
(b c1630; d after 1666). French dancer, instrumentalist and composer. His first name is unknown. He regularly performed in court ballets from 1653, when he was mentioned as playing the role of ‘une assez laide bourgeoise’in Le ballet de la nuit, to 1666, when he danced as a muse in Le ballet des Muses. He was a maître joueur d’instruments. His only known music is a collection of Chansons pour danser et pour boire (Paris, 1650) for one and two voices without continuo. The dedication, to Prévost, one of Louis XIV’s dancing-masters, singles out the king’s ability as a dancer and recommends him as an example to others. (M.-F. Christout: Le ballet de cour de Louis XIV, 1643–1672, Paris, 1967)."
