Biography
Michel-Richard Delalande (1657-1726) was a French composer associated with the court and chapel of Louis XIV. His grands motets and Symphonies pour les soupers du Roy exemplify the ceremonial splendour of French Baroque music. OSTINATO! includes a Chaconne attributed to him in the source supplied to Enrico Sorbello; its exact correspondence with Delalande's established catalogue has not been identified.
