Desportes was originally a lawyer at Caen, then professor of music and conductor.[3] He studied composition with Paul Dukas, but soon became more interested in other activities.[citation needed]
Most of his compositions were written for wind instruments, but he also wrote songs,[4] and his best known piece is Pastorale joyeuse for flute and guitar.
