Why is this music so good? Because it is Italian. Charpentier learned it all from the Italians. Modern Western music is Italy's gift to the modern world (says Kurt Rudolf Mengelberg and US President Thomas Jefferson and so many others).
Da sage noch einer, Schönheit läge im Auge des Betrachters. Diese Musik trägt Schönheit ganz objektiv, also unabhängig von menschlichem Dafürhalten in sich. Sie kann daher auch den Engeln dienen, seiner göttlichen Majestät zu huldigen.
Fully agree, but to my opnion this performance is certainly not a tribute to " the man". The most uninspired and "dead" version of this magnificent piece to be found on youtube... But of course that's just my opinion.
A truely magnificent performance. Still, it would only be fair to mention *all* instrumentalists in the credits. I have had the pleasure to experience Fruzsi Hara in several performances. She truely is an exceptional virtuoso at the baroque trumpet.
Fruzsina Hara and István Lukács play the trumpets here; Koen Plaetinck plays the percussion. We have also added it to the details above. Thank you for the advice and sorry for our omission!
A very fine performance of a very great piece of music; but why no mention of the the two excellent trumpeters and drummer in the description. Shame on the producers !!

Such a great performance. We can only imagine what it would be like if the singers had memorized the score. Really… Imagine that… this is not longer than any opera role. Imagine seeing their faces all the time, hearing their voices projecting not into the paper of the books, but at the microphones, at the listeners. Imagine each of them flying to creative heights, free of dependence on the books. Really. Imagine that.
This seems more transparent than say, a Bach contata. Is it written that way, is it the performance, or am I just imagining it? Wonderful either way. Love there`s no conductor. Congratulations to all.
Both, probably. Bach used denser polyphony, more chromaticism and more complex harmonic progressions. And on top, French Baroque is nowadays commonly performed very lightly, airily.
You have to consider that this Te Deum seems to have been written to celebrate the French victory at the Battle of Steenkerque, so it is certainly religious music but is also military music. The odd sections of the prelude ("Marche en rondeau") are military fanfares and the final chorus also features a recurring fanfare theme.

So who are the trumpeters and the drummer? you carefully list all the violin players, etc; and the vocalists, but not these instrumental players (there may be others un-listed that I didn't detect) -- oh yes, the organist too.

English Text of the Te Deum I. Praise to the Trinity We praise thee, O God: we acknowledge Thee to be the Lord. All the earth doth worship Thee, the Father everlasting. To Thee all Angels cry aloud: the Heavens and all the powers therein. To Thee Cherubim and Seraphim continually do cry, Holy, Holy, Holy: Lord God of Sabaoth; Heaven and earth are full of the Majesty of Thy Glory. The glorious company of the Apostles praise Thee. The godly fellowship of the Prophets praise Thee. The noble army of Martyrs praise Thee. The holy Church throughout all the world doth acknowledge Thee; The Father of an infinite Majesty; Thine honourable, true, and only Son; Also the Holy Ghost: the Comforter.
II. Praise of Christ Thou art the King of Glory, O Christ. Thou art the everlasting Son of the Father. When Thou tookest upon Thee to deliver man: Thou didst not abhor the Virgin's womb. When Thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death, Thou didst open the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers. Thou sittest at the right hand of God in the glory of the Father. We believe that Thou shalt come to be our Judge. We therefore pray Thee, help Thy servants whom Thou hast redeemed with Thy precious blood. Make them to be numbered with Thy Saints in glory everlasting.
III. Prayers O Lord, save Thy people: and bless Thine heritage. Govern them and lift them up for ever. Day by day we magnify Thee; and we worship Thy Name, ever world without end. Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us this day without sin. O Lord, have mercy upon us. O Lord, let Thy mercy lighten upon us: as our trust is in Thee. O Lord, in Thee have I trusted: let me never be confounded.

very lively and convincing timpani ornamentation + hyper dynamic playing I think this would have also worked well with 8 singers situated in front of or in the orchestra. Sometimes the choir is a bit "far away" which it can not make up for trough rustle and murmur cause of it's moderate size and clarity.
Sound is all that matters. The required to polish a brass instrument is better spent practicing. As the prince of Morocco said in The Merchant of Venice: All that glisters is not gold.
@@chong2389 Incorrect, sound is NOT all that matters. If that were true, we would see symphony orchestras performing in tee shirts, cut-offs, and sandals, some with lit cigarettes dangling from their lips. Sound AND appearance matter.
All brass instruments from that time looked this way, so the replicas do too. It's not down to a lack of polish but to a different brass mixture and handling.
Specifically, Francophone Latin. There are recordings of the Durufle Requiem being done this way too; Mozart’s is sometimes done in a Germanic Latin. There’s even an Anglicized Latin for stuff by Tallis and Sheppard. It all sounds pretty dumb.
@@stephenburrows8674 In the case of Germanized or Anglicized Latin I quite agree, but in the case of Latin with Gallican pronunciation there are frequent shifts of accent in words, compared to the ecclesiastical (Roman Catholic) pronunciation and this has a rather conditioning effect on the musical intonation of the text.
@@UmbertoFerrandoSo you don’t like the language the composer had in his head when he was composing? All performances of European non-Italian sacred works with Italian Latin until the 20th century are anachronistic and hence simply wrong.
You are comparing this performance to a recorded performance? That is ridiculous. This is a live performance and it’s wonderful. You should judge as to whether they’ve kept the spirit of Charpentier’s composition. And these vocalists and instrumentalists have done so.
A lovely piece! Unfortunately, religious and thus flawed and false. But what did anyone know back then? The music is still lovely, even if the text needs to be reworked. I would love to hear a secular rewrite.
@@unquietthoughts No, latin is latin and french is french, it has to be respected any language in its own way, that's a mistake, so they have to learn to pronounce any language as it is, no matters the country or the region.
@@CarlosHernandez-bu2lk It is the so-called "Gallican" pronunciation of Latin, the singers for whom Charpentier's Te Deum was written pronounced Latin in this way and this also has effects on the metrics of the sung text. You may not like it but that's how things are.
Finally a performance where les inegals and les agrements are performed appropriately and correctly.
Glory hallelujah!

You have chosen very good tempi for this - it is, after all, a hymn of praise.
Sorry, part of the post went missing - it is, after all, a hymn of praise. Neither a funeral dirge nor a rollicking chorus from comic opera.
It’s essentially an affirmation of faith
