About Jean Mercure
Jean Mercure (d. 1650s?) was a French lutenist and composer active in the seventeenth century, known today chiefly through pieces preserved in manuscript lute tablatures rather than through a printed oeuvre. He was associated with royal musical service—specifically as a musician of the Chapelle and the Chambre du roi. At the level of securely attestable “works,” what can be said is limited to the existence of attributed lute pieces circulating in manuscript sources (and, by extension, modern editions/recordings drawn from them).
