Leçons de Ténèbres; Tenebrae Responsories for Maundy Thursday

Album by François Couperin & Carlo Gesualdo & Tenebrae & Nigel Short

Leçons de Ténèbres; Tenebrae Responsories for Maundy Thursday is a set of Baroque sacred vocal works by the French composer François Couperin, composed around 1714. Scored for alto voice(s) with continuo and characterised by expressive ornamentation, modal harmonies and sombre, contemplative textures, the pieces reflect Couperin's engagement with liturgical tradition and occupy a distinctive place among his sacred compositions and the early 18th-century French sacred repertoire.
