Two lovely works for bass voice, accompanied by one violin and continuo in "Salve coelestis Pater", and two violins and continuo in "O Jesu dulcissimi". Score is figured bass and not realised.

Michel Lambert was Jean-Baptiste Lully's father-in-law, and the two collaborated in producing various theatrical works.
