Vêpres pour Saint Louis

Album by Marc‐Antoine Charpentier & Les Pages de la Chapelle de Versailles & Les Chantres de la Chapelle de Versailles & Olivier Schneebeli

Vêpres pour Saint Louis is a collection of sacred vocal works (Vespers) by French Baroque composer Marc‑Antoine Charpentier, composed around 1690. The music exemplifies French Baroque sacred style, combining choral and solo vocal writing with instrumental ritornellos and a blend of French and Italianate influences, and it forms part of Charpentier's liturgical output within the Vespers/grand motet tradition.
