Curious about what Christmas might have sounded like to Louis XIV? Early-music expert William Christie and his world-renowned French ensemble Les Arts Florissants take up that question with style, performing two seasonal works by Charpentier, Master of Music at the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris.
The program includes two key works by Charpentier, among the greatest composers of sacred music during the Grand Siècle: Messe de Minuit pour Noël, a mass setting based on the melodies of 10 French Christmas carols, and Pastorale de Noël, a lyrical recounting of the Nativity story. These performances are a welcome return for Christie and Les Arts Florissants, BAM favorites since their first appearance with a universally celebrated production of Jean-Baptiste Lully's opera Atys in 1989, here making their first BAM appearance since 2019.
