CHARPENTIER In nativitatem Domini canticum, H 416; Messe de minuit pour Noël, H 9; Te Deum, H 147
In nativitatem is a rarely performed biblical drama with astonishing harmonies, dramatic choruses and a wide palette of instrumental colours. In this concert, Academy students reconstruct and situate it alongside two of Charpentier’s most famed works for choirs and instruments.
