Workes in Arles (1682-1683), Toulouse (1683-1694) and Paris (1694-1700). He became vice-maitre-de-chapelle of the Chapelle Royale in 1722. He wrote many so-called Petits Motets, some of which he later worked out to his less-known so-called Grands Motets, who stayed part of the Concert Spirituel till the French Revolution.
