Complete Encyclopaedia of Music/B/Bainville

by John Weeks Moore

Bainville, organist at Angers, published some music for his instrument in the year 1767.

BAJ, T., author of the "Miserere," commonly sung on Holy Thursday in the pontifical chapel at Rome, was born near Bologna, and died at Rome in 1718. His "Miserere" is a chef-d'oeuvre for its prosody and just accentuation of the words. It is the only modern production received in the pope's chapel.
