Henry (Henri) Madin [Madden]
(Verdun, 7 October 1698 - Versailles, 3 February 1748)

French composer and priest of Irish origin. His early years are unknown but he probably was a choirboy at Verdun Cathedral. In 1719 he was appointed 'maître de musique' at Meaux Cathedral but in 1726 he came back to Verdun to work as the same post. In 1730 he was promoted master of the choir school at Tours Cathedral and in the same post at Rouen Cathedral from 1737 to 1741. He was honoured as ‘chanoine de St-Quentin’ in 1741 and in 1742 he succeeded André Campra as 'maître des pages de la chapelle'. As a composer, he mainly wrote sacred music among them four a cappella masses in contrapuntal style and 29 grands motets. He also published the theoretical work 'Traité de contrepoint simple ou chant sur le livre' (Paris, 1742).
