Life
From 1545 at the latest he was cantor and teacher at the Saint-Pierre Cathedral in Geneva and in the parish of Saint-Gervais. On December 3, 1551, he was jailed for a day for changing the melodies of printed psalms without permission. He did not return to Geneva in 1552 after a three-month vacation for the printing of psalm clauses in France, initially lived as maître musicien in Lyon and in 1560 moved to Paris, where his daughter was baptized a Roman Catholic.
In the Evangelical Hymnal , the melodies of songs 271 (arrangement), 294 (arrangement), 300 and 524 as well as several songs in regional parts come from Bourgeois.
