La Barre, Michel de
(1675–1743)> COMPOSER
La Barre, Michel de (1675, Paris; 1743, Paris), composer, was a well-known flutist in his day, but his two compositions for the Royal Academy of Music did not meet with much success. His Le Triomphe des Arts was never revived after its first run in 1700, and La Vénitienne did not fare too well after its premiere on 26 May 1705. Not much else is known about him except that he wrote several duets and trios for his instrument. BIBLIOGRAPHY: Sort by:DefaultAuthorTitleDateAscendingDescending F.-J…
