Biography

Charles Hurel was a musician and eminent professor from a prosperous family of Parisian luthiers[3] which included some of the main instrumental factors of Paris in the 17th century.[1]

He seems to have been the only member of his family who was also a composer.[4]

He was listed as "ordinary officer of the Academy of Music" in 1684 and as a professor of theorbo in Paris.[4]

A document of 7 April 1676, which gives his signature and that of several other members of his family, describes him as a "lute player".[1]

Among his pupils were Marie Du Port de la Balme and Mademoiselle de Lionne.[5]

He died in Paris c. 1692.[4][5]
