Reviews

'How did music project the king's sovereignty in early modern France? Bennett's brilliant new study is the first sustained investigation of sacred music and royal liturgies at the time, one with important ramifications for our understanding of the reign of Louis XIV and the indebtedness of late seventeenth-century court ceremonial to earlier forms. Bennett is an expert liturgist who brings this unjustly neglected period and its music into earshot for scholars from across the disciplines. Impeccably researched and beautifully written, this elegantly illustrated volume makes a major contribution to studies of the ancien régime.' Kate van Orden, Harvard University
