Clementine de Bourges
Clementine de Bourges (Unknown date, Lyon? - 30 September 1561, Lyon) was a French composer of the 16th century. Accounts affirmed that Clementine mastered several instruments. However, biographical information about her life is scarce.[1] She is mostly known through their prolific compositions of classical music.[2][1] She excelled in choral works and organic music. Mathematician and music writer Franz Gehring considered her compositions as some of the most important of her time.[3] She died one year later after her husband died fighting against the Huguenots in 1560.[3]
