De Lalande: Te Deum - Les Arts Florissants, William Christie

Les Arts Florissants

William Christie - Conductor

To the glory of God (and the King).
Called the "Latin Lully" (whose worthy successor he was for 43years under Louis XIV and Louis XV), Delalande took the "grand motet"practised at Versailles to the peak of its glory and its popularity.The Te Deum of 1684 is the epitome of his achievement in thegenre, and it was organised, composed, and performed with the carereserved for true masterpieces. The listener will be equally astonishedby the manner in which Delalande sets the words of Psalms 110 (111) and137, whose emotional impact goes far beyond the conventions of thegenre.

This title was released for the first time in 1991.
