 The "air de cour", the secular style of song which dominated the musical scene in France beginning in the 1580s, used the principles of "musique mesurée" with the difference that it usually used rhyming verse.In addition, even in the late 17th century, the influence of "musique mesurée" can be seen in the style of French recitative, both in opera and in sacred music.Composers that continued using the methods of "musique mesurée" into the 17th century included Jacques Mauduit, who used it for creating large works for mixed vocal and instrumental forces, roughly in the Venetian style, and Eustache Du Caurroy, who used the method for psalm settings.
