Festival Dans les Jardins de William Christie – Michel Richard de Lalande et les demoiselles Lalande, la famille en musique
Description
Vocal concert
Musical director: Paul Agnew
Featuring: Sarah Fleiss (soprano), former winner of the ‘Jardin des Voix’ competition, and Juliette Perret (soprano)
Alongside Marc-Antoine Charpentier, Henry du Mont and François Couperin, Lalande also remains a major figure in French sacred music. Bringing together Racine-inspired hymns, spiritual dialogues, Tenebrae lessons and devotional poetry, this programme highlights the eloquence of the short motet, a genre serving prophetic, meditative and dramatic – some of these motets having been performed by Lalande’s daughters, renowned singers whose lives were marked by tragedy. They also bear witness to the fruitful encounter between French and Italian tastes, even as controversies raged.
This musical programme will open the festival’s series of candlelit concerts and will be performed by two sopranos much loved by Les Arts Florissants: the American Sarah Fleiss and the French Juliette Perret.
