Mass for the consecration of the chateau of Louis XIII

"Young Louis XIII came to Versailles for the first time in 1607 when he accompanied his father Henry IV on a hunting trip. In 1623, he decided to have a hunting lodge built where he could stay overnight: The most beautiful castle in the world was in the making ... And what if the king, before moving into his new house, had wanted it to receive a special glamour through a religious consecration? The "Missa duobus choris" by Nicolas Forme and works by Bouzignac, Caurroy and Philidor provide a festive touch.
