Julien Perrichon (Composer)

Born: 6th November 1566, Paris, France

Died: c. 1600, Paris, France

Nationality: French

Julien (Jean) Perrichon was a French composer and lutenist of the late Renaissance. He was a lute player for Henry IV of France and famous enough to be mentioned by Marin Mersenne in Harmonie universelle (1636) as one of the finest musicians of the preceding age.

He was born in Paris. His father, Jehan Perrichon, was a viol and shawm player, also for the royal court. As a child Jehan probably learned to play the lute from the king's renowned lutenist, Vaumesnil.
