Jean-Joseph Mouret


 

Jean-Joseph Mouret (b. April 16, 1682, Avignon; d. December 22, 1738, Charenton) was a French composer whose dramatic works made him one of the leading exponents of Baroque music in his country. Even though most of his works are no longer performed, Mouret's name survives today thanks to the popularity of the Rondeau from his first Suite de Symphonies, which has been adopted as the signature tune of the PBS program Masterpiece Theatre.
