ABOUT THIS PROGRAM

From Shadow to Light: A Musical Tapestry of the Grand Siècle​

This program unfolds with striking chiaroscuro. It opens in an atmosphere of intimacy and contemplation with André Campra’s *De profundis*. “From the depths, I cry out to you”: through its exceptional harmonic richness, this work plunges us into anguish and supplication, illustrating the gravity of the doubts that can grip the heart.​

Then, like dawn dispelling the night, hope is reborn. Also penned by Campra, the great master of vocal color, the *Cantate Domino* resounds like an invitation to sing a new song. This virtuosic and luminous piece marks a return to joy and prepares the audience for the evening’s triumphant climax.​

It is then that the first, universally famous notes of Marc-Antoine Charpentier’s *Te Deum* will resound. The majestic brilliance of the trumpets and the roll of the timpani suddenly give way to collective jubilation and the pomp of Versailles. More than just a ceremonial piece, this masterpiece is an immense sonic architecture where the inner depth of prayer blends with the most radiant joy.​

Let yourself be carried away by the splendor of the Grand Siècle and by these universal passions that, across the centuries, still resonate so powerfully today.
