A French Baroque Christmas with Ensemble Correspondances

Written for the holy night of Christmas, Charpentier’s Midnight Mass has travelled the world. Based on traditional French Noëls, this music offers pleasure to everyone: be it through the joy of hearing a familiar tune, or of marveling at its extraordinary craftsmanship. The very simplicity of the original songs lends the entire Mass a cheerful character and a transparency that is anything but shallow, speaking instead in a language that was once profoundly universal.
