Van Helmont played a leading role in music in Barique Brussels. In 1737 he followed in the footsteps of Joseph-Hector Fiocco and composed a cycle of Leçons de ténèbres for solo voice and continuo. Ornamentation in the French style blends here with Italian lyricism, and each lamentation of the prophet Jeremiah is granted its own particular atmosphere. He revised one of his most beautiful Leçons of Holy Week in 1756 and added a solo cello part.
