**Pierre Tabart** (also **Thabart**, **Tharbart**) ([Chinon](/source/Chinon), baptized 8 January 1645 – [Meaux](/source/Meaux), 1716) was a French composer and maître de chapelle. Said to have studied music under 'the best contrapuntist of his time',[1] he served as maître de musique in [Orléans](/source/Orl%C3%A9ans) until 1683, followed by [Senlis](/source/Senlis) from 1683-1689. He then succeeded [Nicolas Goupillet](/source/Nicolas_Goupillet) as maître de musique of [Meaux Cathedral](/source/Meaux_Cathedral). However, due to the fact that his nine-year contract was left unrenewed, he was succeeded by [Sébastien de Brossard](/source/S%C3%A9bastien_de_Brossard) in 1699. He later aided his successor to the post in selecting the maître de musique for [Évreux Cathedral](/source/%C3%89vreux_Cathedral).[2]
