	MARC ANTOINE CHARPENTIER, Biography, Discography
		(1643- 1704) Marc-Antoine Charpentier was born in Paris, probably into a family of artists.
		But many believe Charpentier to be the greater of the two, displaying in his work impressive breadth of range - from the pomp of the court and the flamboyance of the theatre to the intimacy of the private chapel.
		Charpentier's early life is unclear, but it is known that in 1662, he travelled to Rome to study under the great Italian composer Giacomo Carissimi, famous throughout Europe for his sacred music.

		Circumstantial and stylistic evidence indicates that this work is by Marc-Antoine Charpentier, very probably composed during the mid 1680s for performance by the musicians of Mlle de Guise (d 1688); its attribution to him has been widely accepted.
		Charpentier, Marc-Antoine: Sonate pour 2 flûtes allemandes, 2 dessus de violon, une basse de viole, une basse de violon à 5 cordes, un clavecin et un théorbe.
		As such, the sonata is the earliest by a French composer, contemporary with the Roman trio sonatas of Corelli and predating the earliest Parisian ensemble sonatas of François Couperin and his circle; it makes striking use of contrasting solo and accompanying instruments and juxtapositions of French and Italian forms and idioms.

	France diplomatie - Une galerie de compositeurs
		À l'occasion de la commémoration du tricentenaire de la mort de Marc-Antoine Charpentier en 2004, le Ministère de la culture et de la communication vient de publier un site internet dédié au compositeur.
		Charpentier fut étroitement dépendant du pouvoir sans partage de Lully, et sa vie de compositeur se situe au coeur des querelles et rivalités qui opposèrent les tenants de la musique française à ceux de l'art italien.
		Dans ce contexte, l'originalité du « sçavant » Charpentier fut sans doute d'opérer dans sa musique une synthèse entre les éléments italianisants chers à son temps et un véritable style français.

	Marc-Antoine Charpentier, composer, biography, discography
		Thus does Charpentier introduce himself in his astonishing piece in Latin entitled Epitaphium Carpentarii, in which he himself appears on the stage: he imagines that he returns to earth after his death, in the guise of a shade, and looks over his life with a curious mixture of humility and bitterness.
		La Tour and Charpentier share a deep religious sentiment, the Italian influence, and a love for the quotidian.
		This circulation, quite exceptional, has allowed a reconsideration of Charpentier’s place within the western musical landscape.

	Marc-Antoine Charpentier - Classical Composers Database
		No works better exemplify the character and style of the music of Marc-Antoine Charpentier (1643-1704) than the settings on this recording, both probably dating from his last years, when he was "maître de musique" at La Sainte-Chapelle in Paris.
		Charpentier's D major setting is notable not only for its famous opening "rondeau", but also for the use of trumpets and timpani at significant moments in depicting the text.
		Charpentier employs a vocal "petit choeur" of eight singers, two each of "dessus" (soprano), "hautecontre" (high tenor), "taille" (tenor) and "basse" (bass), with a "grand choeur" in the same four parts.

		Those familiar with the famous fanfare that begins Charpentier's Te Deum will delight in the equally celebratory Marche de triomphe pour les violons, trompettes, timbales, flutes, et hautbois that opens this program--a grand spectacular that the Köln musicians perform to the hilt.
		Listeners used to the recent, comparatively mild-mannered approach exhibited by Ledger, Leppard, Malgoire, and even Christie and Niquet in their dabblings in Charpentier's orchestral music are in for a treat with Goebel's dynamically charged, roof-raising performance.
		In fact, with the exception of the Messe pour plusieurs instruments au lieu des orgues (the only work featuring a vocal ensemble), most listeners would be hard pressed to identify religious associations in these works without a hint from their titles.
