Te Deum & Missa Assumpta Est
25 February 2023/ France / Paris
Correspondances presents two absolute masterpieces of Charpentier's art, dedicated to voices, expression and harmony.
The "Te Deum" is a hymn of praise that is often dressed in the most brilliant colours. For anyone who remembers the old French television broadcasts, Marc-Antoine Charpentier's "Te Deum" is a familiar work: the prelude to this vast score announced the Eurovision broadcasts. The "Missa Assumpta Est" is the last and richest of the masses composed by Charpentier for the Assumption ceremony.
