The purple highlighting suggests how many works
were written for the Dauphin and were sung
by his Music -- often at matins. Note: the
Dauphin's musicians apparently were given the honor of singing at the December
20th service for the late queen. The gap in the flow of compositions after May,
coincides with Charpentier's illness. (H. 523 and H 329 presumably were written
about six weeks prior to the Feast of Corpus Christi.)
