Short bio Pierre Guedron
Full biography Pierre Guedron
Pierre Guedron (also spelled Gudron or Guesdron) was a French composer and singer who lived in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. He was born around 1570 in Chteaudun and died sometime after 1620 in Paris. Guedron is best known for his compositions of Airs de cour, which were strophic songs for voice and lute that were popular in France in the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods.
Guedron was a member of the Royal Court, serving as a singer and composer for King Louis XIII. He wrote many works for the Ballets de cour, the court ballets that were a popular form of entertainment in the early 17th century.
Some of Guedron's most famous compositions include "Cesses mortels de soupirer" and "Est-ce Mars," both of which are examples of his Airs de cour. He also wrote recitatives, which were a newer type of vocal composition that became popular in the early Baroque period.
Guedron's style of composition is representative of the early French Baroque and is characterized by elegant and refined melodies that showcase the beauty of the French language. His works were highly regarded during his lifetime and continue to be performed and studied by Baroque music enthusiasts today.
