Le Heurteur, Guillaume
Le Heurteur, Guillaume, French composer who flourished from 1530 to 1545. He became a priest and in 1545 he served as a canon and preceptor of the choirboys at St. Martin in Tours. His extant works comprise 4 masses, 2 Magnificats, 21 motets, and 23 chansons (see A. Smijers and A. Merritt, eds., Treize livres de motets parus chez Pierre Attaingnant en 1534 et 1535, Paris and Monaco, 1934-64). His sacred works are notable for their command of contrapuntal writing. In his secular works, he followed the precepts of the Paris school.
