Son testament publié p. 568-569 date du 1.1.1415 semble exclure qu’il s’agisse du compositeur, dont le décès est attesté en aout 1410. (Jean de Noyers, que nous trouvons mentionné comme chapelain de la Sainte-Chapelle, à la date du 13 novembre 1392…)

Tapissier, Johannes [Jean de Noyers]
(b c1370; d before Aug 1410). French composer and pedagogue. Tapissier, whose true name was Jean de Noyers, is named along with the composers Susay and Jehan Vaillant in the anonymous Règles de la seconde rhétorique (c1400) as one of the principal French poet-musicians of the day. By 1391 he had been engaged as a chamber valet and court composer to Philip the Bold, Duke of Burgundy. That same year he accompanied Philip and his court on a journey to Milan and Avignon; in the spring of 1395 he made a second visit to Avignon in the ducal service; and in the summer of 1399 he was with Duke Philip in Flanders. The Burgundian court records reveal that Tapissier maintained an ‘escole de chant’ in Paris and that in 1406 three choirboys of the court were sent to his school ‘to learn how to sing’. In 1408 Tapissier was ordered to bring his choirboys from Paris to Amiens to sing before the new Duke of Burgundy, John the Fearless, and later the same year he was rewarded for having helped perform the divine service before Duke John when the Burgundian court was in Paris. Although the accounts show that Tapissier died before August 1410, his name was known well enough several decades later to be mentioned in Martin le Franc’s poem Le champion des dames (the citation is given in the article Johannes Carmen).
Johannes Tapissier’s extant compositions are a three-voice Credo, a three-voice Sanctus and a four-voice isorhythmic motet. The motet, Eya dulcis adque vernans rosa/Vale placens peroratrix, laments that the church was then divided by the Great Schism. His Credo appears with two different concluding Amens, one in the Apt Manuscript (F-APT 16 bis) and a second in the more recent I-Bc Q15. In the latter source the Credo is preceded by a Gloria composed by Thomas Fabri, one of Tapissier’s pupils in Paris. See Baude Cordier for a Gloria that possibly forms a pair with the Credo. Tapissier’s three compositions are published in Early Fifteenth-Century Music, ed. G. Reaney, CMM, xi/1 (1955).
