Paris - Versailles
Review
He was one of the most important musicians of the court of Louis XIV and Louis XV, in charge of the Royal Chapel and the king's camera music.
His great motetes, written for the chapel of Versailles, are the top of the genre in France. His symphonies for the king's dinners illustrated the court's meals.
