"French" cahiers for 1682 

For the early 1680s it is difficult to assert that all works for "hd, d, b and 2 tr" in the "French" notebooks were performed only by the Guise Music. Could they not have been "loaned," so to speak, to the Dauphin? That said, I mark them in blue, the color of Mlle de Guise. The "hc" highlighted in red suggests a work sung by Charpentier. Note how compositions for Montmartre more or less cease after the Abbess becomes ill in October and dies in December.
