The Ranums' Panat Times

Some Fugitive Pieces on

The Jesuits and Music

I recently completed an article on Charpentier's Jesuit years, for the Bulletin Charpentier. That article shows "programatically" my observations about the obligations and constraints that shaped the production of a chapel master working for the Jesuits.

For lack of space, I could not include a number of very interesting statements about music at the different Jesuit establishments in France. So, I have decided to publish them here, as Fugitive Pieces:    

        1693: The body of Maxime, a young martyr, is brought to Louis-le-Grand

        1655: The body of a young martyr is brought to the Collège de Mauriac

        Music and Devotion in the Churches of the French Jesuits

        Orders issued by Thyrso Gonzales, General of the Company of Jesus in July 1699 concerning music at the Collegio Romano of Rome

        1694: Paolo Lorenzani is paid by the Parisian Jesuits

        The tones to use in a sermon
