Janequin, Clément (c. 1472–c. 1560)
French composer of chansons and psalms. He was choirmaster of Angers Cathedral 1534–37 and was based in Paris from 1549.
His songs of the 1520s–30s are witty and richly textured in imitative effects, for example ‘Le Chant des oiseaux/Birdsong’, ‘La Chasse/The Hunt’, and ‘Les Cris de Paris/Street Cries of Paris’.
‘La Bataille de Marignan/The Battle of Marignan’ (1515) incorporates the sounds of warriors fighting.
