Charles Hérissé is a composer born in Orléans on December 11, 1737 and died in the same town on December 1, 1817. Son of a weaver, baptized at Saint-Victor d'Orléans onDecember 11, 1737, he was the godson of Jean Ferrant, weaver and brother-in-law of the composer Jean-Baptiste Morin (Orléans, 1677-Paris, 1745), also the son of a weaver. He was received as a member of the psallette of the Saint-Aignan collegiate church in Orléans around 1747 (in the children's choir, an integral part of the choir composed of professional adults). He was trained there in the vocal art and more generally in the different techniques of music (including musical composition), by Louis Le Maître, who is certified as a master of music.and master of the collegiate choir in 1751 (and probably a little earlier, at the earliest from 1748?). Louis Le Maître remained in place at least until the beginning of the year 1752 and perhaps until towards the end of 1755 or the beginning of the year 1756, because around this time Saint-Aignan recruited a new master of psallette, Antoine Faguer (or Faguet), who came from the Pyrenees (he practiced until this time at the Notre-Dame de Garaison abbey). Orléans Cathedral then had André Hatton as music master, then, from theNovember 6, 1756, the young composer François Giroust , who would become superintendent of music to Louis XVI . It has been written that the two Orleans churches worked “in tandem”, including from a musical point of view: the young Hérissé certa
