"French" cahiers for 1683
Choose another year from the "French" cahiers
For the early 1680s it is difficult to assert that all works for "hd, d, b and 2 tr" in the "French" notebooks were performed only by the Guise Music. Could they not have been "loaned," so to speak, to the Dauphin? That said, I mark them in blue, the color of Mlle de Guise. The "hc" highlighted in red suggests a work sung by Charpentier. (The fact that this haute-contre sang in August 1683 suggests that Charpentier had recuperated from his summer-long illness. Note how compositions for Montmartre more or less ceased after the Abbess became ill in October 1682 and died in December.

Cahier 37 |
| H 187 Fundamenta ejus
in montibus sanctis (ps. 86) Thursday and Friday matins; matins of Circumcision (Jan. 1), Conception (Dec. 8), Epiphany (Jan. 6), Transfiguration (Aug. 6); little office of Virgin; dedication of a church. |
| H. 407 Dialogue inter
esurientem sitentem et Christem This follows directly upon H 187, which suggests that the two works for a rather atypical combination of voices were written for the same devotional event. |

Cahier 38 |
| H 331 Luctus de morte
augustissimae Mariae Theresiae reginae Galliae (August
17-23) "Motet pour le service de Marie Thérèse, reine de France," which uses a text by Portes. (May have been reused for the Mercy service of September 13.) For the Guise male trio? |
| H 332 In honorem Sancti Ludovici Regis Galliae (August 25) "Motet pour St Louis," which uses virtually the same text as the one in cahier 22 of 1679. Forms a pair with H. 331 and probably was performed at the same event. For the Guise male trio? |
| H 471 Orphée descendant aux enfers For the Guise male trio? |
| H 252 Elévation: O coelestis Jerusalem For the Guise male trio? |
|
Cahier 39 |
| H 190 Dixit Dominus 8
vocibus et totidam instr. (ps. 109) Sunday vespers; feasts of the Virgin; little office of the Virgin; Corpus Christi. Could it have been used for the annual Guise service for the Holy Sacrement at Saint-Jean-en-Grève? |
| H 253
O Amor, élévation à 2 dessus et une
basse chantante "Son prélude est au cahyer LVIII à 2," which seems to date from the 1690s, as do the indications for transposing the piece for male voices. |

Cahier 40 |
| H 191 Lauda Jerusalem
(ps. 147) (September?) for a large ensemble Saturday prime; vespers of the Conception (Dec. 8), Circumcision (Jan. 1), Corpus Christi, common of Virgin, dedication of a church |
