Probably composed in 1690 the Messe de Minuït pour Noël H 9 is perhaps Marc-Antoine Charpentier’s best-known composition after the Te Deum H 146. The special appeal of this “Mass for the Midnight Service on Christmas Eve” lies in its use of no fewer than ten traditional French carols while impressively revealing Charpentier’s mastery of the concertante style.The eight solo vocalists (SSAATTBB) can easily be taken from the chorus. They are divided into three groups – one group of two sopranos and two groups each comprising alto tenor and bass – which interact with the chorusand instruments. This new edition represents the current state of scholarship and offers a completely revised Urtext of Charpentier’s masterpiece.- Urtext based on the latest scholarly research- Straightforward and easy-to-play keyboard reduction- Duration: approx. 25 minutes- Full score & parts (BA7592) and vocal score (BA7592-90) available for sale

The ?Te Deum? (H 146) is unquestionably the best known composition of Marc-Antoine Charpentier (1643?1704) especially since its ? Prélude en rondeau ? was made the Eurovision signature tune. Although Charpentier set the ?Te Deum? altogether four times this is his only setting employing a ?military band? i.e. trumpets and kettledrums.This brilliant and magnificent piece was frequently played at victory celebrations and other occasions of public jubilation during the 17th century. Even today it is still ideal for festive church services and concerts.The present editionstands at the forefront of scholarship and provides a complete newly edited Urtext of Charpentier?s masterpiece.- Full score performance material (BA7593) and vocal score (BA7593-90) available for sale

The Te Deum H 148 is the last of the six settings of this text by Marc-Antoine Charpentier (1643–1704) whose death is now being commemorated three centuries later.Unlike the better known and relatively lavish Te Deum of the “Eurovision Fanfare” (H 146) this version reduces the ensemble to four-voice chorus and basso continuo. Thanks to its relatively simple fabric it is thus ideally suited for church choirs and small amateur ensembles.Despite its reduced forces this Te Deum proves to be an impressive work of great effect in performance.- Urtext based on the latest scholarly research-Straightforward continuo- Four-voice chorus (SATB) without vocal soloists- Duration: approx. 6 minutes- Separate organ part available (BA7591-67)
