Musique pour les funérailles de la reine Marie‐Thérèse

Album by Marc‐Antoine Charpentier & Louis Devos & Chœur de Chambre de Namur & Musica Polyphonica & Louis Devos

Musique pour les funérailles de la reine Marie‑Thérèse is a funeral composition by Marc‑Antoine Charpentier, composed in 1683. Scored for voices and a Baroque instrumental ensemble, it employs sombre choral textures, restrained orchestration and expressive harmonic language typical of French sacred baroque, and it occupies a ceremonial and historical place in Charpentier’s output as music written for royal funerary rites in late 17th‑century France.
