This fanciful look at the musical pleasures of European ancien régime focuses on the music of the French Baroque master Marc-Antoine Charpentier and features tenors Eduardo Tercero and Aaron Sheehan and baritone John Buffett.
A pre-concert lecture on Marc-Antoine Charpentier’s theatrical music will be given by Professor John Powell of the University of Tulsa at 5:15 pm. Inspired by the French court’s “Cabinet of Royal Pleasures,” this fun-loving program offers exquisite though rarely heard works from the musical world of Louis XIV, showcasing the various sides of Louis’ musical entertainments, from the chapel to the chamber and the theater. The program also includes some music by non-French composers, since Louis’ court was the model for virtually all other important monarchs during the late 17th and early 18th centuries.
