Biography
Des Bordes
(fl 1559). French composer. He wrote La guerre marine (ed. in SCC, ix, 1994), an onomatopoeic piece (depicting a naval battle) which in style follows the example of Janequin’s Bataille [de Marignan]. It was first published in Le Roy & Ballard’s 11th book (RISM 155911) and went on to be reprinted four times between 1562 and 1578. Two contrafacta (O Seigneur Dieu and Cessez mes yeux de pleurer) are also ascribed to Des Bordes in the Premier livre des cantiques et chansons spirituelles (15783).
