Clauden (1528-1600)

According to The New Penguin Dictionary of Music, Claude le Jeune was a French composer of Protestant church music (including psalm-settings), chansons, etc.; held court appointment under Henri IV. The Oxford Companion to Music tells us further that Clauden [Claude le Jeune] was born in Valenciennes and died in Paris aged seventy-two. He was priest and musician of the Sainte Chapelle at Paris and of the royal private chapel. He is important and famous as a composer of chansons, masses, motets, madrigals, and (being of Huguenot sympathies) metrical psalms (Genevan Psalter, in four and five voices, published posthumously in 1613 and used in the reformed churches of France, Holland, and Germany).
