Les maîtres chanteurs du Directoire : une anthropologie sonore de la messe blanche (1794-1799)
Résumé
When the divine worship was again authorized, albeit with restrictions, after the Terror, some parish churches witnessed remarkable ceremonies; everything in them seemed to mark the return of the mass: parishioners, liturgical objects, ritual gestures. Everything was there -except the priest. In between this absence and the signs of a restoration of the religious practice, the chantres and their voice possessed a mediating function, which this paper suggests to investigate.
