Kerst in Parijs, 1694

The program opens with a kerstwake featuring works from Henry Du Mont's Cantica Sacra, including the motet Christus natus est. Meditative instrumental interludes transition into Marc-Antoine Charpentier's celebratory Messe de Minuit pour Noël, interwoven with traditional French noëls.
