About the event

Darkness and Light
Darkness and Light will present music from the time of the Sun King, Louis XIV: Marc-Antoine Charpentier's popular and festive Messe de Minuit will be contrasted with one of his three great messes des morts, and Michel-Richard de Lalande's magnificent De Profundis.

Despite being hugely popular at the time, and being Louis XIV's favourite composer (his De Profundis was chosen for Louis’ funeral in 1715), Lalande is not so well known today, partly due to the fact that there are still only a limited number of modern editions of his music. 2026 will be the 300th anniversary of Lalande's death and this performance will be our contribution to the celebration.

We will be joined by a professional period orchestra and soloists. This will be our second programme in recent years of music from this glittering age, when all the arts were brought together to glorify not only God, but his representative on earth - the absolute monarch Louis.
