Claude Lejeune
Claude Le Jeune (1528 to 1530 – buried 26 September 1600) was a Franco-Flemish composer of the late Renaissance. He was the primary representative of the musical movement known as '' musique mesurée'', and a significant composer of the "Parisian" chanson, the predominant secular form in France in the latter half of the 16th century. His fame was widespread in Europe, and he ranks as one of the most influential composers of the time. Life He was born in Valenciennes, where he probably received his early musical training.

After returning to Spain for several years, he decided to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Le Livre De Poche
Le Livre de Poche (literally "The Pocket Book") is the name of a collection of publications which first appeared on 9 February 1953 under the leadership of and published by the , a subsidiary of Hachette. In terms of its influence on the mainstream book market, it shares a similar popularity in France as publishers like Penguin and Signet do in English-speaking territories. History Admittedly, books of a similar format, fitting in a pocket, already existed. Since 1905, Editions Jules Tallandier marketed themselves under the name ''Livre de poche'', popular novels at low cost. But the successful reception of ''Le Livre de Poche'' was due to the combination of the new idea of ''consumerism'' with the era and the popular demand for a cheap book, presented in covers recalling cinema posters, but containing quality writing. Henri Filipacchi supposedly had the idea after seeing an American soldier tearing up a book in order to fit it into the pockets of his uniform. Filipacchi succee ...
