Domine salvum fac regem

Domine, salvum fac regem (Lord, save the King) was a petit motet sung for the King of France at every Mass. While it already existed in mediaeval France, the motet was composed by Jean Mouton for the coronation of King François I at 1515. It was put to music as a grand motet by Jean-Baptiste Lully, and was made customary at the end of every Mass at the Chapel of Versailles.
