Les Petits Chanteurs de Sainte-Croix de Neuilly was founded in 1956 by Louis Prudhomme and is currently directed by François Polgar, a former pupil, former head of the chorus of Radio-France. It is regarded as one of the most significant French boy choirs. It provides the musical presentations at school ceremonies, often appears in major festivals (Oxford, Aix-en-Provence, Auvers-on- -Oise...) and frequently performs famous works of the repertory of hymns and secular music acappella.

Each summer, the Petits Chanteurs leave for concert tours. They've traveled the roads of France, and have performed in England, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Canada, and the United States. The Petits Chanteurs of Sainte-Croix have assigned themselves a double requirement: to deepen their spiritual reflection and that of their public by affirming their vocation of "Missionaires of peace", and to contribute to revival of the French school of boy's choirs by the search for an ever increasingly higher musical quality.

@markfromireland Thanks for the comment. I'll consider it but in the meantime let me recommend to you the 1990 CD re-issue of the 1975 cassette Tota Pulchra Es which features these two pieces. Label: Ades, catalogue nr. 202772
