From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clementine de Bourges (Unknown date – 30 September 1561) was a French composer. She was born and died in Lyon.
Accounts affirmed that Clementine mastered several instruments. However, biographical information about her life is scarce.[1] She is mostly known through her prolific compositions of classical music.[2][1] She excelled in choral works and organic music. Mathematician and music writer Franz Gehring considered her compositions to be some of the most important of her time.[3] She died one year after her husband had died fighting against the Huguenots in 1560.[3]
