The ensemble La Nébuleuse has chosen to devote its first recording to the sacred music of Marc-Antoine Charpentier, focusing on pieces for forces midway between those typically employed for the petit motet and those required for the grand motet. Written between 1670 and 1696, these works allow us to hear the evolution of the composer’s influences and writing: the Italian traits of the earlier pieces, dating from his return from his well-known trip to Rome, contrast with the eloquent French style of his later motets.
