In his Mélanges sur des sujets chrétiens, which he regarded as his magnum opus, Moulinié claimed the right to a compositional freedom that would “purify music and make it wholly chaste.” Some of the finest pieces from the collection feature on this recording by Sébastien Daucé’s Ensemble Correspondances, showing just how successfully the composer achieved his aim.
