Programme Note
Step into the radiant world of French Baroque sacred music, where shimmering harmonies, intricate ornamentation, and the dramatic interplay of choir, soloists, and instruments create a grandeur fit for a king.
At the heart of Radiant Majesty is Marc-Antoine Charpentier’s Missa Assumpta est Maria: a work of architectural scale and luminous beauty, designed for vast, resonant spaces capable of matching its expressive range. Widely considered his finest mass setting, it unfolds as an immersive journey from quiet supplication to joyful affirmation.
Mondonville’s Dominus regnavit and Lully’s Regina Caeli complement the Charpentier with distinctive elegance, transforming their sacred texts into music of striking ceremonial presence.
Join us for an evening with Baroque strings, woodwinds, and organ, and experience the rich colours, majestic textures, and immersive sonorities of the French royal chapel brought vividly to life.
