Biography
Fourmentin
(fl c1560). French composer. He wrote two quarillons, descriptive vocal pieces exploiting bell-like melodies (Réveillez vous tous plaisans amoureux, for four voices, in RISM 155911, and the five-voice Réveillez vous tous plaisans compaignons, 15624). Their model was Janequin’s Chant des oiseaux which begins with the same clarion call ‘Resveillez-vous’. These chansons were popular enough to be frequently reprinted. Fourmentin also left one six-voice chanson, in the more conventional courtly style, Par trop amour me pourchasse (155910). He may be identifiable with Philippe Fromentin, a singer from the diocese of Noyon, who was a vicar and maître des enfants of Reims Cathedral in 1558. (All three chansons are ed. in SCC, x, 1994.)
