Franco-Flemish composer. According to the poet Ronsard he studied with Josquin. In 1507-9 he was maitre de chapelle at S. Rombault, Malines; was somehow associated with the French royal chapel in succeeding years, traveling with it to Italy in 1516. In 1531 he was serving Maria of Hungary, Regent of the Netherlands, and from 1542 to 1547 was maître de chapelle at St. Gilles in Bruges. His stature can be deduced from the many surviving sources of his music (including a posthumous print of nineteen motets), frequent borrowings from his compositions, and statements by figures such as Glarean and Ronsard.
Ne vous chaille mon cueur
Be not afflicted, my heart,
If you suffer greatly,
And if in your pleasures
You are never fully satisfied;
For if it please God, you will be
Delivered from the evil that
So often makes you delirious.
