Estienne du Tertre

Estienne du Tertre (fl. mid-16th century) was a French composer. He spent most of his life in Paris and worked as an editor for the publisher Attaingnant. Many of his chansons were published.

Du Tertre published suyttes de bransles in 1557, giving us the first use of the term "suite", although the usual form of the time was as pairs of dances.
