Robert Ballard (ca. 1572 or 1575, probably in Paris – after 1650) was a prominent French lutenist and composer.[1] His father, Robert Ballard Senior (ca. 1527-1588) was the head of the well-known music publishers, "Le Roy & Ballard", founded in 1551 with cousin Adrian Le Roy (a notable virtuoso lutenist and composer of the period).[2]
From 1612 he entered the service of the French Regent, Maria de Medici, and was tutor to the young King Louis XIII, becoming a lutenist and composer (musicien ordinaire du roi) at the royal court in 1618.[3] He published two books of lute works - Premier Livre de tablature de luth (1611) and Diverses Pièces mises sur le luth (1614).
