According to Austin B. Caswell and Georgie Durosoir, in Grove Music, "As Surintendant de la musique de la chambre Boësset wrote the music for many ballets, but there is no evidence that he composed sacred music; the motets and masses bearing his name can almost certainly be attributed to his son Jean-Baptiste.
In the Recueil Deslauriers (Various) (no.26, f.29-30), the name is given as "de Boesset" which is obviously where the confusion between Antoine and Jean-Baptiste lies. Further, Grove Music lists a Magnificat written by Jean-Baptiste.
Though the Blanchard recording mixes solo and choral voices, the Deslauriers manuscript gives no indications other than "a4-V. SSDB et org."
