A French Baroque Christmas: Music of Marc-Antoine Charpentier
Choir of Saint Luke in the Fields with Baroque in the Fields orchestra
The French noël represents a tradition of popular Christmas celebration and rich source of melodies that became a preoccupation of French composers. The concert will feature Charpentier’s delightful Messe de Minuit (‘Midnight Mass’), written perhaps for Christmas 1694, based on ten of these popular carol melodies. The program will include
In Nativitatem Domini, H.416, Charpentier’s most substantial dramatic oratorio for the Christmas season.
