About Jean Planson
Jean Planson was a Parisian composer and organist born around 1559 (probably in Paris ) and died after 1611. He never worked in connection with the court of France. He married before 1579 with Catherine Maboud; he has two sons from her, Jean, baptized on March 3, 1579 (his godmother was the daughter of a king's corneur), then Pierre, baptized on March 18, 1581 (his godfathers were an organist and an organ builder), and a daughter, Madeleine, baptized on February 10, 1583, whose godmothers were both daughters of instrument makers. He lived first in the parish of Saint-Paul , then in the parish of Saint-Jacques-la-Boucherie . Planson was appointed organist of the collegiate church of Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois in Paris on July 8, 1575. However, he was replaced in December by Jean Lesecq without anyone knowing why. He held this position until at least 1578 . In 1578, he competed at the Puy de Musique in Évreux ; he won the prize for the silver harp for his five-part motet Aspice Domine (published in 1583), as well as the prize for the Triumph of Cécile (rarely awarded) for his 7-part song on the sonnet Ha, Dieu que of filetz (idem) . He is still known as organist of the Church of Saint-Sauveur in Paris from 1586 to 1588; it is perhaps him the "Jehan Pinson" aged 53 and residing rue Saint-Jacques who marries his son Jacques on Monday February 27, 1612.
