Petit Jean De Latre ( or 1510 – 31 August 1569) or Joannes de Latre (his surname is also recorded as ''Delattre'', ''Delatre'', ''De Lattre'' and ''Laetrius'') was a Flemish Renaissance composer and choirmaster who worked in Liège and Utrecht.〔J. Quitin and H. Vanhulst, ''New Grove''〕〔H Vanhulst, ''Revue belge de musicologie'', vol. 47〕 He is no longer believed to be same person as Claude Petit Jehan who died in 1589.〔F. Lesure, ''Petit Jehan de Lattre'' (1969) cited by J. Quitin and H. Vanhulst, ''New Grove''〕 ==Life== The earliest record of his employment is for 1538 to 1539 when he was ''maître de chant'' at church of St John the Evangelist in Liège. Subsequently De Latre was employed at St Martin, Liège. From about 1550 he was also chapel master to George of Austria, Prince-Bishop of Liège (1544–1557), to whom De Latre dedicated his first volume of secular songs or chansons of 1552.〔''Music fragments and manuscripts in the Low Countries'' ed. Eugeen Schreurs, Henri Vanhulst, 1997 - 510〕 During his time in Liège notable pupils included Gerard de Villers and Johannes Mangon.〔〔J. Quitin, ''Revue belge de musicologie'' vol. 47, 1993 "A propos de trois musiciens liégeois du 16e siècle: Petit Jean de Latre, Johannes Mangon et Mathieu de Sayve"〕 After George of Austria's death in 1557 De Latre continued to work at St Martin, but in 1563 took up a post for a short period in Amersfoort (within the province of Utrecht). Around this time the former rector of the Latin school in Amersfoort, Johannes Oridryus, together with Albertus Buysius, undertook the publication of a collection De Latre's chansons, ''Cantionum musicarum'', in Düsseldorf. De Latre returned to Liège as succentor at St Martin, but was dismissed for debt in 1564.〔 By 1565 De Latre was employed at the Janskerk in Utrecht where he is described as a ''Magister'' and ''Cantor''. He may later have been employed at the Buurkerk there. He was buried at the Buurkerk in Utrecht in 1569, where his epitaph described him as a ''musici excellentissimi''.〔 The best attested of works are his published chansons and set of Lamentations. In addition a number of works survive in manuscript, but some may be by other composers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jean de Latre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
