Summary of this score
This score brings together four brief vocal pieces, conceived as a cycle, where the clarity of the Latin text and the richness of harmonic atmospheres serve an intensely contemplative expression. "Sancta et immaculata" is a commission from Musique Nouvelle en Liberté - Ville de Paris, premiered on October 22, 2013, at Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris as part of the "Livre de Notre-Dame," performed by the Maîtrise Notre-Dame de Paris, with Denis Comtet on organ and Emilie Fleury conducting. The pieces "Quae est ista" and "Alma redemptoris Mater" were commissioned by Ensemble Sequenza 9.3 and premiered on August 25, 2017, at the Festival de la Chaise-Dieu by Ensemble Sequenza 9.3, with Thomas Lacôte on organ and Catherine Simonpietri conducting.
The content offers a contrasting and immediately usable journey: 1. Felix namque es (2') - 2. Sancta et immaculata (4') - 3. Quae est ista (2') - 4. Alma redemptoris Mater (4'). The set allows for easy construction of a musical breathing space within a choir program, with controlled durations and complementary atmospheres. To situate the aesthetic, a recording exists in "Le Livre de Notre-Dame," Maîtrise de Notre-Dame, MSNDP005 (2015).
