Jehan de Maletty was one of a group of humanist gentleman-composers meeting in Lyon around 1580. He is one of the few who published collections of settings of Ronsard's "Amours"; but also featured the newer 'star' of Desportes. Later he turned to religious music and a few of his Psalms survive complete. 40 other songs survive only in a fragmentary condition, and more have disappeared altogether. At least one of his tunes survived in a few Swiss MSS where it is re-used as the chorale theme in a Passion setting! This is (so far as I know) the only edition of the remaining material, collected together from the remaining partbooks in France, the UK and Germany.
