Richard Loqueville - Wikipedia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Richard Loqueville (died 1418) was a French composer active during the transition between Medieval and Renaissance music. A musician at Cambrai Cathedral, Loqueville was a harpist and teacher, whose students included Edward III, Duke of Bar and the influential composer Guillaume Du Fay.
Little is known of Loqueville's life. A trained harpist, he taught it to Edward III, the son of the Robert, Duke of Bar, in 1410.[1] He is also known to have taught plainsong to the Duke's choirboys.[1] From 1413 until the end of his life he taught music at Cambrai Cathedral alongside Nicolas Malin. The celebrated composer Guillaume Du Fay was likely a student his student at the cathedral[2] and Du Fay's first compositions were probably written under his influence and instruction.[3] He is known to have been married.[4] In 1418 he died in Cambrai.[1]
Attributed to him are four rondeaux, a ballade, an isorhythmic motet in honour of the Breton saint Yvo, a Marian motet, and several Mass movements.[1]
