Grands Motets sur le Cantique des Cantiques

Description

From 1663 to 1683, Pierre Robert and Henry Du Mont were the official composers of the Royal Chapel of Louis XIV, in charge of the Sovereign's daily Sacred Music, which they would bring to a first peak, while Lully reigned over exceptional ceremonies and (above all) over the Opera. All three invented the French Grand Motet, whose sumptuousness quickly resounded throughout Europe. The works gathered here by Robert and Du Mont are taken from the Song of Songs, a magnificent biblical evocation of the mystical Bridegroom and Bride, thus of Christ and the Virgin. Since the Vow of Louis XIII, who dedicated France to Mary to thank her for the birth of Louis XIV, the Kingdom and its Sovereign were of great Marian piety.
