Pierre Tabart

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pierre Tabart (born August 21, 1645 in Chinon , † December 1716 in Meaux ) was a French composer of the Baroque.

Life

Pierre Tabart received his training as a choirboy at Tours Cathedral , where he was also ordained a priest. He then became Maître de musique at Orléans Cathedral . In 1683 he applied for the position of one of the "sous-maîtres de la chapelle du roi" at the court of Versailles, but this was presumably given to a musician who was more closely associated with the new style. Tabart was however Kapellmeister at the cathedral of Senlis . Presumably from 1685 in Meaux, he was appointed Kapellmeister in 1689 by Bishop Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet as the successor to Nicolas Goupillet (1650-1613) at the Cathedral of St. Etienne. In 1698, after the end of his service at the cathedral, he stayed in the city, where he had a house and lucrative benefices (probably a chapel of the cathedral). His successor as Kapellmeister of the cathedral was Sébastien de Brossard , whose extensive musical collection included several works by Tabart.

Tabart left behind some polyphonic masses, a Requiem a 5 and bc, a Te Deum, a Magnificat a 5 and bc and several motets that are counted among his early works.
