Leçons de Ténèbres - Première Lecon (1/2)
Loading...
Uploaded by JSBachisthebest on Oct 16, 2009
The Leçons de ténèbres pour le mercredi Saint ("Lessons of darkness for Holy Wednesday " or Tenebrae for Holy Wednesday) were written by François Couperin for the liturgies of the Holy Week of 1714 at the abbey of Longchamps. They use the text of the Lamentations of Jeremiah, in the Old Testament, in which the prophet deplores the destruction of Jerusalem by Babylonians. In the Catholic tradition, they symbolize the loneliness of Christ, betrayed by Judas and abandoned by his apostles.
Other French composers wrote "lessons of darkness", the best known being those by Marc-Antoine Charpentier, Jean Gilles and Michel Delalande. Outside France, one can find similar works by Carlo Gesualdo, Thomas Tallis, Tomás Luis de Victoria, and Jan Dismas Zelenka.
Those by Couperin are for two high vocalists, and basso continuo. They are composed of three lessons (six others having been lost).

Who is the counter-tenor in this recording? What is the recording, in fact?
Does anyone know? This sounds as thought it post-dates the famous Deller version.

Gimme back my wig !!! I have been playing everything by Purcell either written for guitar or transcribed for as long as I have been playing classical guitar. There is such a quaint chamber volume to his stuff. It's interesting that you have to go back that far in time to find English composers who were world class !!! Italians were in demand in Elizabeth's and James l courts ... Francisco Corbetta was a guitarist in court in those days, and apparently there were several royal afficianados.
