Jean Gilles (1668 - 1705). His fame, such as it is, was largely posthumous and rested with two works - the Requiem and the motet Diligam te, Domine, both being played quite frequently in the decades after his death. The Requiem was used at numerous high-profile funerals including that of Louis XV.
In 1764 a version of the Requiem was prepared for a Memorial Service for Rameau, probably by Francois Rebel and Francois Francoeur. The work was revised and several new movements inserted, mainly using music recycled from Rameau's opera Castor et Pollux.
The unadulterated version is available from Herreweghe and La Chapelle Royale (harmonia mundi) (and probably others). Rameau's Funeral is available from Skip Sempe and Collegium Vocale Gent (Paradizo)
