Jean d'Estrée

Between 1559 and 1564, Jean d'Estrée, a professional musician ("joueur de Hautbois du Roy") edited and arranged dance music for the Parisian publisher, Nicolas du Chemin. In Thoinot Arbeau's Orchesographie, published in Langres in 1589, Arbeau suggests to his pupil, Capriol, that he look in the books of music printed by Pierre Attaignant and by Nicolas du Chemin in Paris for more music for basses dances and pavans. Attaignant's dance books are extant and have been published both in facsimile and in modern editions.
