The three grands motets, Quam dilecta, In convertendo and Deus noster refugium, which Jean-Philippe Rameau composed from 1713 to 1715 are still relatively unknown today. Being performed in a concert spirituel in 1751, In Convertendo was poorly received; this failure long continued to pursue Rameau.
