Notes on the use of music in the works of André de Rivaudeau

I propose to re-examine the meager clues which, in André de Rivaudeau’s Œuvres (1566) seem to betray a fairly important presence of music. The choirs in the tragédie sainte Aman appear to have been written for the purpose of singing, but to what tunes? Two of the Complainctes are published with a timbre, but if the first is indeed a well-known tune, the second seems to indicate that La Boétie’s Vers françois circulated long before their publication by Montaigne.
