The "Roman" cahiers for 1687

Go to the "French" cahiers

The piece for St Benedict -- doubtlessly commissioned by the new abbess of Montmartre -- provides a clue to just how long it could take nuns to prepare a new motet. During this year of transition from service to the Guises to that of the Jesuits, Charpentier wrote quite a few pieces for the abbey of Port-Royal of Paris, where his sister was a converse nun.
