The Charpentier Project

In 2008 The Ebor Singers embarked on the long-term project of exploring the sacred and secular music of Marc-Antoine Charpentier through workshops, performances and recordings.

 

Charpentier (c 1643-1704) lived and worked in Paris during the reign of Louis XIV. His rivalry with Lully, a court favourite of Louis XIV, ensured that his music was all but forgotten at his death.  The Project will place Charpentier's music in the context of French music (Lully, Du Mont, Bouzignac, Lalande) and the wider context of European developments (Italy, Germany, and special emphasis on England).
