Carpentras (composer)

Parchment manuscript showing the polyphonic setting by Carpentras of the Lamentations of Jeremiah. This was presented to Pope Clement VII around 1524.

Carpentras (also Elzéar Genet, Eliziari Geneti) (ca. 1470 – June 14, 1548) was a French composer of the Renaissance. He was famous during his lifetime, and was especially notable for his settings of the Lamentations which remained in the repertory of the Papal Choir throughout the 16th century. In addition, he was probably the most prominent Avignon musician since the time of the ars subtilior at the end of the 14th century.
