“Hélène-Louise Demars”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Hélène-Louise Demars (c. 1736 – ?) was a French composer and music teacher.

Demars wrote several cantatas dedicated to nobles such as Mademoiselle de Soubise of the Rohan family and Madame La Marquise de Villeroy. She went on to become a teacher of several instruments such as the harpsichord and the violin.^[1]^[2]

Early life

Demars was born in 1736 in France, probably in Paris. Her father, Jean-Odéo Demars^[3] was a musician at two churches in Paris. After her father died in 1756, she lived with her mother and siblings in the Rue St. Thomas du Louvre.^[4]

Personal life

In 1759, Demars married Jean-Baptiste Vernier, a violinist and music dealer specializing in foreign editions.^[5] It is unknown if she and her husband had any children.

Career and works

Demars' most cited-work, "L'Horoscope"^[6] is dedicated to Mademoiselle de Soubise of the Rohan family. It was performed for de Soubise as early as November 21, 1748, when Demars was about 12 years old. It was published in the Mercure de France in 1749.

Demars dedicated her work "Hercule et Omphale"^[7] to Madame La Marquise de Villeroy. She has several other works that she has composed:^[8]

Demars became a member of a literary circle run by Alexandre Le Riche de La Poupelinière,^[9] an influential patron of the Enlightenment Era. De La Poupelinière circle may have gained Demars introductions to our artists and potential patrons.

Demars also taught the violin and the harpsichord. She was advertised in the "Tableau de Paris pour l'annee 1759," as a "maîtresses" or "teacher" of the harpsichord.
