> Listen to Cantate Domino, Omnis Francia!

This is the choir's first recording devoted exclusively to French seventeenth-century composers. Composers and works have been selected that represent the evolution of sacred music over the century, from the contrapuntal motets of Du Caurroy (1609), the first evidence of the new Italian style in France (Bouzignac, Boesset, Du Mont) to the most gifted but most misunderstood composer of his generation, Marc-Antoine Chatpentier. The CD also focuses on a group of pieces written by Bouzignac with both musical and historical significance, that celebrates the Siege of La Rochelle, a decisive victory of Louis XIII over the rebel Protestants.
