The work for November 4, highlighted in
purple and
identified in the 18th-century "Memorandum" as having been written for
Versailles, marks the beginning of Charpentier's commissions for the royal
court. (In 1682 and 1683 purple becomes the dominant color in this charts.)
Charpentier presumably is the haute-contre
highlighted in red.
