Choose another year from the "Roman" cahiers
The purple highlighting suggests how many works were written for the Dauphin and were sung by his Music -- often at matins. Note: the Dauphin's musicians apparently were given the honor of singing at the December 20th service for the late queen. The gap in the flow of compositions after May, coincides with Charpentier's illness. (H. 523 and H 329 presumably were written about six weeks prior to the Feast of Corpus Christi.)
