'... Montagnier's book is a seminal and exceptional contribution to the study of French sacred music during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.' Thierry Favier, Music and Letters 'Until the appearance of this book, no comprehensive study of the development of the polyphonic mass in France, from the early seventeenth century up to the eve of revolution, had been undertaken. For that reason alone, it should be lauded as an exceptional contribution to the literature ... a monumental achievement ... this book will undoubtedly prompt many further enquiries.' Peter Leech, H-France Review 'Montagnier's book stands as a welcome and authoritative contribution to the literature.' Erick Arenas, Notes 'Jean-Paul Montagnier's book is a much-needed addition to the current literature on French seventeenth- and eighteenth-century music ... a rich resource for anyone interested in Baroque music.' C. Jane Gosine, Journal of the American Musicological Society '[Montagnier's] control of such a large information is impressive, and the combination of broad context and specific detail ensures that the content is accessible even to the reader with little prior specialist knowledge ... a hugely important addition to the literature on French Baroque sacred music.' Shirley Thompson, Revue de Musicologie '... the present book by Jean-Paul C. Montagnier, the first devoted to a cappella Masses published in France in this period, is welcome not only in terms of the new factual information it imparts, but also because it invites a much-needed reassessment of the repertoire discussed ... the potential of this book to act as a springboard for others to investigate this repertory further makes it a hugely important addition to the literature on French Baroque sacred music.'
