For twenty years (from 1663 to 1683) Henry Du Mont directed the music of
the Sun King’s chapel. For the daily Mass heard there he built up a new
musical repertory consisting of motets for full chorus and more
intimate pieces for solo voices. The former aimed to transpose to the
context of the ‘ordinary’ the format of the large-scale works conceived
for extraordinary ceremonies. Sébastien Daucé presents an innovative
approach to these ‘grands motets’ that at once links specific musical
features with historical data and reveals all their beauties in every
detail. (Harmonia Mundi)
