Biography

Jean Maillard was a French composer of the Renaissance. He was evidently famous during his time, and many of his motets were used as source material for parody masses by composers as distinguished as Palestrina; in addition Lassus reworked some of his music. Claude Goudimel also used a secular chanson of Maillard's as source material for a mass.

Six of Maillard's masses have survived, and two others are known to have been lost. Considerable other music of his has survived in printed editions, including eighty-six motets, settings of the Magnificat, lamentations, chansons spirituelles, and secular chansons. His Missa pro mortuis was an early Requiem mass, and one of the only examples from France in the 16th century.

Amour se doibt Ascendo ad patrem meum Au feu, au feu Cantantibus organis De ceux qui tant De fructu vitae De tant aimer Dignare me laudare te Domine Jesu Christe, pastor bone Domine salvum fac Du corps absent Du mal que iay Un forgeron Gaudent in caelis Iam non dicam vos servos

In me transierunt Missa Je suis déshéritée Missa M'amie un jour Non turbetur cor vestrum O combien ie suis Praeparate corda vestra Puer natus est nobis Puisque d'amour recoys election Si ie cuidois pour gémir Si la promesse Si mon vouloir Tout au rebours Tulerunt dominum meum Un amoureux découcher eut envie
