Guillaume Bouzignac
Biography
Guillaume Bouzignac was a French composer active in the first half of the seventeenth century. Born around 1587 near Narbonne, he trained at the cathedral of Saint-Just.
His sacred vocal music contributed to the repertoire of the reign of Louis XIII and brought Italian and Spanish influences into French practice. His works are notable for their dramatic approach to sacred texts and vocal dialogue. They offer a distinctive perspective on early French Baroque expression, represented in Lunaensemble’s programme Lux.
