Abstract

The union of the music chapels of two parishes in Perpignan was ordered by the royal administration of the province in 1699 after decades of debate. We publish and analyse two documents: a petition of the workers to the general vicar of the episcopal see, presenting a defence of the music chapel (here, the drafters of the document describe the musical practice of their times), and an edict from the supreme civil authority of the province, defining the rules of the union and the role of the masters. Both documents reveal the mentality of the clerics, workers and people, and above all the importance attributed to music as a factor of prestige.
