Some of his most famous works are Lamentations Du Jeudi Saint, a Missa solemnis and Pièces de Clavecin. His two suites for harpsichord were dedicated to the Duke of Arenberg, and they incorporate French and Italian styles.

This piece has also been arranged for string quartet, and is often played at weddings. He wrote many religious vocal works, including motets and masses.
