Charpentier
Psalms and Motets
Marc-Antoine Charpentier 1643-1704
Marc-Antoine Charpentier was the most important composer of sacred music in late 17th century France, blending the elegance and charm of the French court fashions with the latest Italian styles. This sequence of psalms and motets includes some of his most expressive music including Le Reniement de St Pierre with its famous final chorus matching that of Carissimi’s Jephthe.
