Le Messie

Description

On Sunday, December 6th, the Ensemble vocal de Saint-Maurice will perform Handel's "Messiah" as part of their Passion concert. This three-part oratorio, composed in just 24 days in 1741, is a true spiritual journey: the anticipation and announcement of Christ's coming, his suffering and resurrection, then the hope brought to the world. Since the composer's death, it has been a tradition to perform this work during Advent. Handel unfolds in this work a breathtakingly clear composition of expressive arias, luminous recitatives, and choruses, which are among the most distinctive in all Baroque music. Conducted by Charles Barbier (tenor soloist), the Ensemble vocal de Saint-Maurice performs with Lysa Menu (soprano), Raphaël Hardmeyer (baritone), and the orchestra 7 Sed Unum (Anaïs Soucaille, solo violin; Daniela Numico, harpsichord and organ). Unnumbered seats. Tickets online at www.martolet.com or at the Saint-Maurice tourism office. Note: This text was translated by machine translation software and not by a human translator.
