Loyset Piéton

about

Loyset [Louis, Louys, Aloysis] Piéton was a composer of unknown origin, active in France and possibly Italy from the 1530s. He died in late 1536 or early 1537, probably in Dijon. It was first believed (Fétis, 1866) that he was at Bernay in Normandy , but this assumption is incorrect. Four archival documents [ 1 ] cite Piéton in Dijon between 1533 and 1536, as master of the children of the Sainte-Chapelle. He worked with Philippe Gaveaul, priest and master of children's grammar. His date of arrival at the Sainte-Chapelle and his previous career are not known. in 1533, he was called master of the choirboys and had to give 10 pounds tournaments (lt) for the reception of his habit and the reception of the chappellenie of the Saint-Michel altar, sum of which the chapter left him for reasons not specified. in 1535, he received a rent of 10 lt Claude Marc, merchant of Dijon, city, for a house located in Dijon near the Cordeliers, and subject to the tax of a chappellenie owned by him. in 1536, he is quoted in the cleaning market of his children's mansion. He is also quoted in connection with repairs made to his house. in 1537, Philippe Gaveaul received a chapelry freed by the death of Loyset Piéton. The latter had left debts to the church. Piéton's works are almost exclusively sacred; they are dispersed in about thirty collections published between approximately 1530 and 1574. His employment in Dijon explains why his works appeared first in Lyon and incidentally in Paris : his
