Jean-Antoine de Baïf is the fi rst catholic poet who achieves a complete translation of the David’sBook of Psalms specifi cally created to be set to music in order to challenge Marot andBèze’s own translation adopted by Calvinists. Baïf’s fi rst fi fteen psalms are set to music bythe composer Claude Le Jeune around 1570. After that, the protestant poet Odet de La Nouereleases a new text for Le Jeune’s music. How does this Calvinist poet adopt the Psalter whenrewriting a paraphrase claimed to be a catholic one?Jean Vignes presents the political and musical context of La Noue’s work, and introducesthe major steps of the creation process of Baïf and La Noue’s works, as well as their intentionsand goals.
