About Guillaume Bouzignac
Guillaume Bouzignac (c. 1587–c. 1643) was a French composer. Bouzignac was probably born in 1587 in Saint-Nazaire-d'Aude. He studied at the Cathedral of Narbonne until 1604, and was choirmaster at the Cathedrals of Angoulême, Bourges, Tours, and Clermont-Ferrand. His motets are preserved in two manuscripts. They are highly distinctive. Writes J.R. Anthony, "Simply stated, there is no other music of the time that looks the same on the page or sounds the same as the motets of Bouzignac." His dialogue motets, such as Unus ex vobis and Dum silentium, are small scale oratorios which anticipate Giacomo Carissimi and Marc-Antoine Charpentier (1643–1704) two generations later.
