Étienne Moulinié
Biography
Étienne Moulinié was a seventeenth-century French composer, born in Languedoc around 1600. Trained as a choirboy at Narbonne Cathedral, he moved to Paris and became director of music to Gaston of Orléans in 1628, remaining in his service until 1660.
His music encompasses sacred and secular vocal works, airs with lute or continuo accompaniment, and court ballets. He later directed music for the estates of Languedoc. His vocal writing forms part of the French repertoire explored by Lunaensemble and Pietro Consoloni on Lux.
