Claude Goudimel
Claude Goudimel , type-setter of the 16th century, born towards 1510, probably in Franche-Comté.
He was choirmaster to Besancon, then went to Rome and founded a school there, from which Palestrina left.
He returned towards 1555 to France, where he embraced the Calvinisme, and was killed with Lyon in 1572, at the time of the Massacre of the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre.
One has of him masses, motets and other hymns, several of them remarkable, and songs.
He put in music the translation of the Psalms of Clément Marot and Theodore de Bèze, as well as the Odes of Horace (Paris, 1555). Its productions are pointed out by the purity of the harmony.
