Motets pour la chapelle du Roy, mis en musique, par Monsieur Du Mont abbé de Silly, & maistre de la musique, de ladite chapelle. Basse-taille du grand choeur.
A 1686 Paris printed collection of motets by Henry Du Mont, published by Christophe Ballard for the royal chapel, set for the bass-taille part of the great choir. Its pages pair staff notation with large decorative historiated initials, one ornate letter opening each motet, with a Latin text line beneath the music. A designer might draw on the dense ornamental letter frames, with their foliage scrollwork and small figures, for decorative capitals and borders.
