Both Claudio Monteverdi and Marc-Antoine Charpentier played a major role in the development of 17th century sacred music. Monteverdi wanted to deploy music in the service of the holy word and Charpentier was also looking for a way to share his deep religious belief with the world. In a number of works dedicated to the Virgin Mary the two composers explore the expressive possibilities of the human voice. Discover the splendour of French and Italian religious music from the 17th century in the monumental St James’s Church. Christophe Rousset and his Talens Lyriques, together with sopranos Judith van Wanroij and Marie Lys transport you to higher spiritual planes.
