Sébastien de Brossard

Sébastien de Brossard was a French composer and music theorist of the middle and late baroque period, born in Dompierre on September 12, 1655 and died in Meaux on April 10, 1730. After studying philosophy and theology at Caen, he studied music and established himself in Paris in 1678 and was later named a vicar at the Strasbourg Cathedral. He founded an "Académie de Musique" there in 1687, and it was there that he acquired most of his music library, which has since become legendary.
