   Born Badassarino di Belgioioso in Piedmont, Italy, Balthazar de Beaujoyeux, as he was known in France, was at first a violinist-composer and organizer of festivals for the courts of Mary Stuart, Charles IX, Henry III, then Catherine de' Medici.

   For the latter, he composed La Défense du paradis, a work of political allusions representing the four days preceding the Saint Bartholomew's Day Massacre.
