Messe de minuit sur des airs de Noel

Although the famous "Te Deum" gave the composer Marc-Antoine Charpentier a place in music history, it was undoubtedly his "Messe de Minuit" that contributed most to his fame. Faithful 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 everyone knew - both peasants and nobles - are enriched with orchestral parts and skillfully interwoven with fine counterpoint and renewed harmony. In this way, musical pleasure is made accessible to everyone: whether you recognize a familiar melody or marvel at the extraordinary arrangement. Under the direction of Gaetan Jarry, the Ensemble Marguerite Louise enriches these Latin oratorios and French pastorals and lends an incomparable intimacy to the Christmas celebrations!
