Some churches for which Charpentier composed Marc-Antoine Charpentier composed chiefly religious music. The characteristics of this music in inseparable from the characteristics of the religious institution where a given piece was performed. These institutions included the Mercedarian church of Notre-Dame de la Mercy, the church the the Theatines, the Carmelite convent of the rue du Bouloy (or Bouloir), the Sainte-Chapelle of the Palais de Justice, the Cistercian abbey of Port-Royal, the Benedictine abbey of Montmartre, and two Jesuit churches: Saint-Louis and the Novitiate. Some of these institutions are discussed in my Musings on Charpentier. Notre-Dame de la Mercy The Theatines of Sainte-Anne-la-Royale The Sainte-Chapelle
