Thursday, 03 July 2008 |
He was born in Caen and moved while in his teens to Paris where he obtained a PhD in Musicology at the Sorbonne. As far as he can remember, he has always enjoyed writing. Many of his books are devoted to music, history or humour and his first novel will be published in 2009. He is presently working as a music professor and researcher, but this unique character is also passionate about driving buses and coaches in his free time.

"Martial Leroux's doctorate thesis was on Guillaume Bouzignac and he is today considered the chief biographer of this composer. Among the foremost specialists in French 17th century music, he has contributed to many works of reference including:
- Dictionnaire des œuvres
de l'art vocal
- Dictionnaire de la musique en France aux XVIIe et
XVIIIe siècles
- Guide de la musique sacrée et chorale profane
- Encyclopédies du Grove, de la MGG."
