Te Deum Pour Les Victoires De Louis XV

Description

For the first time since its creation in the 18th century, Henry Madin’s Te Deum pour les Victoires de Louis XV resounded in 2015 in the Chapelle Royale of Versailles. Stradivaria, the baroque ensemble from Nantes conducted by Daniel Cuiller, and Les Cris de Paris, the chamber choir conducted by Geoffroy Jourdain, perform the work by the composer born in Verdun in 1698, who became deputy master of the King’s Chapel in 1738. The performance of the Te Deum, the longest composed under the Ancien Régime, is complemented by that of Diligam te, Domine, one of Madin’s major works, written in the style of the grand motet. During a unique and recorded concert, the two works came back to life in this highly symbolic historic venue and are now presented in the Alpha / Château de Versailles Collection, which now includes more than a dozen titles.
