Le Messie
Overview
Intro
Handel
On Sunday December 6, the Ensemble vocal de Saint-Maurice will perform Handel's "Messiah" at its Passion Concert. Composed in 1741 in just twenty-four days, this oratorio in three parts offers a veritable spiritual journey: the expectation and announcement of Christ's coming, his passion and resurrection, and then the hope brought to the world.Since the composer's death, tradition has dictated that this work be performed during Advent. Handel's writing is strikingly clear, with expressive arias, luminous recitatives and some of the most striking choruses in all Baroque music.Under the direction - and tenor solo parts - of Charles Barbier, the Ensemble vocal de Saint-Maurice will sing with Lysa Menu (soprano), Raphaël Hardmeyer (baritone) and the Orchestre 7 Sed Unum (Anaïs Soucaille, solo violin; Daniela Numico, harpsichord and organ).unnumbered seats.Tickets online, at www.martolet.com, or from the Saint-Maurice tourist office.
