Louis Homet (1691 - 1777), a French composer, from Paris. French church musician and composer. He was admitted to the maîtrise of the Ste Chapelle on 8 April 1699, studying with Nicolas Bernier, and remaining there until 1709. He is listed among the musicians of Chartres Cathedral in 1710. By 1711 he was maître de musique at St Jacques-de-la-Boucherie, Paris, and won the competition for the same post at Evreux Cathedral in September 1711. In 1714 he was tonsured, although he did not attain full priesthood until 1733. He was maître de musique at the cathedral of Sainte-Croix, Orléans, by 1724, when he applied unsuccessfully for the same post at Chartres. A notice referring to a Te Deum by him sung at Orléans in 1729 calls him maître de musique to King Stanislas of Poland, then in exile at Lunéville. Homet obtained the post he had sought at Chartres on 26 June 1731.
