Home > Joseph Bodin de Boismortier

Joseph Bodin de Boismortier was born on December 23rd 1689 in Thionville, France. The following year the Boismortier family moved to Metz where he recieved his musical education from Joseph Valette de Montigny. The family moved to Perpignan in 1713, where Boismortier found employment in the Royal Tobacco Control. Here he started publishing music, which started to gain him a reputation in Paris. In 1724, Boismortier and his wife Marie Vallete, moved to Paris where he began a prodigious composition career, writing for many instruments and voices. Major works include Cinquante-neuvieme Ouvre de M.Boismortier, contenant quatre suites de pieces de clavecin and the opera-ballets "Les Voyages de l'amour" and "Daphnis & Chloe". Whilst critical response to his work was always mixed, Boismortier can still be considered to be a leading French Baroque composer.
