Gregoire

Gregoire (flourished c.1500-1504) was a French composer.

Scholarship on Gregoire Gregoire is known only through his publications by the music publisher Ottaviano Petrucci. While biographical content about Gregoire is not known, scholars are fairly certain he was French both because of his name and the style of the music he composed. The work combines the well known Eucharistic chant "Ave verum corpus" with three chants associated with the Feast of Corpus Christi that are found in the Lauda Sion Salvatorem and Verbum supernum prodiens. Gregoire weaves these chants together into a polyphonic choral texture; making them work together through transposition and paraphrase. This work is written in the French manner of the Renaissance in a vein similar to that of composers Ninot le Petit and Antoine Bruhier.
