While the famous "Te Deum" secured the composer Marc-Antoine Charpentier a place in music history, it was undoubtedly his "Messe de Minuit" that contributed most to his fame. True to Charpentier's genius, this mass is a perfect synthesis of the secular and the sacred, of popular melodies and refined composition - a work of remarkable originality. These melodies, which were familiar to all - peasants
Peasants and noblemen alike - are enriched by orchestral parts and artfully interwoven with fine counterpoint and renewed harmony. In this way, musical pleasure is made accessible to all: be it through the recognition of a familiar tune or through amazement at its unusual arrangement. Under the direction of Gaetan Jarry, the Ensemble Marguerite Louise enhances these Latin oratorios and French pastorals and
and gives the Christmas celebration an incomparable intimacy!
