A sophisticated composer, Brossard also left his mark thanks to the
extraordinary collection of music manuscripts he amassed over the course
of his life. Preserved for posterity when he catalogued and handed it
over to the royal library in 1724, the compendium contains an impressive
number of musical gems like the Requiem by Bouteiller, which Brossard
counted among the best Mass settings in his possession. Focusing on the
work of these French masters, Paul Agnew has fashioned a program
exploring the role of cathedral and chapel choirs during the reign of
Louis XIV.
