These seven chamber works, Italianate in style and important predecessors to the cantate française of the eighteenth century, offer fresh insight into the oeuvre of a composer remembered chiefly for his operas, sacred oratorios, and masses. The pieces are scored for one to six voices with various obbligato instruments.
