Ensemble La Nébuleuse

Change of location: For organisational reasons, this concert has been moved to the Sint-Geertruikerk (instead of the Predikherenkerk). ------------------------Marc-Antoine Charpentier (1643/44-1704)Petits Motets Between 1670 and 1696, Marc‑Antoine Charpentier composed a series of small‑scale motets for modest vocal and instrumental ensembles. These works offer a clear insight into the evolution of his musical language. Italian influences, absorbed during his time in Rome, enter into a compelling dialogue with the clarity and sensitivity of the French style. In this music, fluid declamation and a subtle sense of phrasing consistently support the sacred text.
