Biography

Du Caurroy was baptized in Beauvais and was serving in the royal chapel by 1575 if not earlier. Some work was printed in anthologies during his lifetime, but the bulk appeared after his death. His Missa pro defunctis was played at St. Denis for Henri IV's obsequies in 1610 and long remained in the repertory there.

A ce beau jour de Noel Accourez, bons François Celuy qui voudra s'empescher D'une mielleuse voix Deliette, mignonette, pucelette Dieu benin j'espans jour et nuit devant toy Heureux le siecle premier Le juste que jugea le Juge tres-injuste Le premier pere Adam Le Sainct promis Missa pro Defunctis

Ninfe qui tiens tant d'heur Nous te loüons bon Dieu O Createur, tu remets Preste l'oreille à ma complainte Rose, vostre beau teint Si le Tout-puissant n'etablit la maison Sors de ton lit paré Sus, troupe chanteresse Un enfant du Ciel nous est né Vous qui le parvis du Seigneur
