Robert Ballard (c. 1572 or 1575, probably in Paris – after 1650) was a prominent French lutenist and composer.[1] His father, Robert Ballard Senior (c.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).
