Pierre Colin
Pierre Colin was a French composer active between 1538 and 1572.[1] He was a singer in the Sainte-Chapelle from 1532 to 1536.[2] He was the organist and choirmaster of Autun Cathedral from 1539 until 1565 while serving as priest.[1][3] His compositions were compiled by 1541 by Jacques Moderne, one of the earliest folios from a single composer.[2][4] This publication consisted of magnificats, masses, and motets, numbering eight of each type.[5] His Christus resurgens has been misattributed to Palestrina.[6]
Colin's masses are classified as Parody music.[1] His most highly esteemed works are his thirty six motets, which demonstrate melodic sense, textual clarity, and timing.[1]
