Extra Information
|
*Versets 1 to 4 are from the Mirabilia testimonia tua (Ps.119, vs.11-14). The 5th verset "chanté par Mademoiselle Couperin à sa reception" is from Lauda Jerusalem (Ps.147, vs.5). The composer must have been considered it optional as it seems to have been an encore at a Versailles concert from the previous year.
