Lisle
Return to List of Composers

Rouget de Lisle
Rouget de Lisle
(1760-1836) was a French army
officer during the French Revolutionary wars. He is famous as the composer of
the French National Anthem "La Marseillaise". He also wrote the
patriotic words. He wrote the song before the revolution as a
patriot. It was soon adopted as the song of the French Revolution, but de
Lisle was a royalist, and far from being hailed as a hero, he was imprisoned in
1793, and he was lucky to escape the guillotine. He wrote some other songs and
some poems, but no other music of his has survived into the current repertoire.
