Pierre Robert - Grands Motets sur le Cantique des Cantiques
Singularly sensual, deeply moving, the Song of Songs lifts the souls of the lovers into heavens where perfect and divine love reigns supreme - it is quite logical that this story was transcribed into Grands Motets, praising the virtues of total devotion for the glory of God... and the King!

Pierre Robert - Grands Motets sur le Cantique des Cantiques
Olivier Schneebeli, conductor
Concerto Soave
Les Pages et les Chantres du CMBV
From 1663 to 1683, Pierre Robert and Henry Dumont were the official composers of the Royal Chapel of Louis XIV, in charge of the Sovereign's daily sacred music, which they were to bring to a first pinnacle, while Lully reigned over the exceptional ceremonies and (above all) the Opera. All three invented the Grand Motet à la française, whose sumptuousness soon reverberated throughout Europe. The works gathered here by Robert and Dumont are taken from the Song of Songs, a magnificent biblical evocation of the mystical Spouses, that is Christ and the Virgin. Since the Vow of Louis XIII, who dedicated France to Mary to thank her for the birth of Louis XIV, the Kingdom and its Sovereign were of great Marian piety. Olivier Schneebeli, with 30 years of musical direction of the Pages and Chantres of the Centre de Musique Baroque Versailles, brings the splendid eloquence of these Grands Motets to the Chapel of Louis XIV.
Recorded on 31 January and 1 February 2020 at the Royal Chapel of the Château de Versailles
