Charles Hubert Gervais

Charles-Hubert Gervais (19 February 1671 – 14 January 1744) was a French composer of the Baroque era. The son of a valet to King Louis XIV's brother, Monsieur, Gervais was born at the Palais Royal in Paris and probably educated by Monsieur's musical intendants, Jean Granouillet de Sablieres and Charles Lalouette. He worked as a musician for the Duc de Chartres, the future regent of France. In 1701, he married Francoise du Vivier (she died in 1723). In 1721 he was named sous-maitre de musique at the Chapelle royale along with Andre Campra, Nicolas Bernier and Michel Richard Delalande (who had previously held the post alone). Gervais composed sacred music and operas, including two tragedies en musique.
