Pierre Sandrin
Pierre Regnault (named after a figure from the Italian Commedia dell'arte Pierre Sandrin ; * around 1490 in Saint-Marcel near Paris , † around 1561 in Italy ) was a French composer of the Renaissance .
Life
Before Sandrin became known as a musician, he was an actor. In one document he is referred to as badin antien (= "old actor"). Sandrin was doyen of the monastery chapter of Saint-Florent-de-Roye in Picardy and from 1543 in the Chapelle Royale ; from 1549 to 1560 he was canon there. Sandrin traveled to Rome in 1560 and found employment with the Cardinal of Ferrara Ippolito II. D'Este , he died around 1561 in Italy.
Between 1538 and 1549 he published about 50 four-part chants. These include Puisque vivre en servitute (1548), Puisque de vous or Douce mémoire based on a text by François I. The latter work was reprinted several times by various Flemish publishers and was well known throughout Europe. Various composers took up the melody, such as Diego Ortiz , Tielman Susato and Cyprian de Rore (1516–1565).
