found: Oxford Music Online, 9 December 2016(Chardiny [Chardin, Chardini], Louis-Claude-Armand; born Fécamp, 1755; died Paris, 1 October 1793; French composer and singer; Italianizing his name to increase his chances of success, he joined the Académie Royale de Musique as a basse-taille in 1780, although judging by his most successful part, that of Theseus in Sacchini's Oedipe à Colone, his voice was a tenor rather than a baritone; his taste was for serious opera (he was a fervent admirer of Gluck), but his only contribution to the repertory of the Opéra was to write the recitatives and some cavatinas for a French adaptation of Paisiello's Il re Teodoro in Venezia (as Le roi Théodore à Venise, 1787); La ruse d'amour, produced at the Théâtre des Beaujolais, brought that small theatre its first real success ten months after it had opened; in this work, as in Le pouvoir de la nature, the other of his operas available in score, Chardiny sought to compete with the opéras comiques produced at the Comédie-Italienne; later he was employed as an arranger for the Théâtre du Vaudeville (from January 1792); Beffroy de Reigny wrote that 'Chardiny hated the revolutionaries', but he was nonetheless captain of a section of the National Guard at the time of his death)
