Description
Here, four exceptional Grands Motets composed by Lully to the greatest glory of Louis XIV have been brought together: Plaude Laetare Gallia was performed in 1668 as a jubilant celebration of the birth of his first son, the Grand Dauphin; Benedictus is a piece of extraordinary architecture that transcends the sacred drama; Notus in Judea Deus, composed in 1685 shortly before Lully's death, is a true victory song celebrating the glory of God; finally, Domine Salvum fac Regem, an energetic "God save the King", was systematically sung in honour of the sovereign. The sublime Magnificat by Henry Du Mont, who was in charge of the Music of the King's Chapel until 1683, adds yet more splendour. Stephane Fuget has brought together the best performers, a veritable "army of generals" with a vast choir composed of exceptional singers, to bring these legendary pieces back to life amid the magnificence of Versailles.
