At the time
Gervais composed his
Grand Motet Miserere he
held a post as director
of the Chappell Royale in
the Court of Louis XIV.
This was one of the most
important positions in
music in France at that
time. In addition to
operas, he was highly
regarded for compositions
in this representative
genre of sacred music
until the end of the
Ancien Regime. The
setting of Psalm 50
consists of a succession
of individual movements
(choruses, soli, and
duets through quartets),
which, thanks to his
experience with works for
the stage, the composer
was able shape
dramatically not only
with respect to the texts
of individual movements,
but also with a view to
the large chorus which
concludes the work. Score
and part available
separately - see item
