The "Roman" cahiers for  1672

Although some of the patrons who commissioned works in 1672 can be guessed (the King, Molière), no evidence links Charpentier to the patrons who commissioned the two masses and the Te Deum. In view of Guise links to the Jesuits and to the Theatines that would become public knowledge only a few years later, these religious houses are likely candidates. I therefore suggest that researchers be alert to references to activities at these two houses that fit this chronology.
