CAMBERT, ROBERT (1628-1677)

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 82 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAL-CAR
CAMBERT, ROBERT (1628-1677) , French operatic composer, was born in Paris in 1628. He was a pupil of Chambonnieres. In 1655, after he had obtained the post of organist at the
church
  of St Honore, he married Marie du Moustier. He was musical superintendent to Queen Anne of Austria,
mother
  of Louis XIV., and for a time held a post with the marquis de Sourdeac. His earlier works, the words of which were furnished by Pierre Perrin, continued to be performed before the
court
  at Vincennes till the death of his
patron
  Cardinal Mazarin. In 1669 Perrin received a patent for the
founding
  of the Acadimie Nationale de musique, the germ of the Grand Opera, and
Cambert
  had a share in the administration until both he and Perrin were discarded in the interests of Lulli. Displeased at his subsequent neglect, and jealous of the favour shown to Lulli, who was musical superintendent to the king, he went in 1673 to London, where soon after his arrival he was appointed master of the band to Charles II. One at least of his operas, Pomone, was performed in London under his direction, but it did not suit the popular
taste
 , and he is supposed to have killed himself in London in 1677. His other
principal
  operas were
Ariadne
  ou les amours de Bacchus and Les Peines et les plaisirs de l'amour.
