 MARC ANTOINE CHARPENTIER, Biography, Discography
Charpentier's early life is unclear, but it is known that in 1662, he travelled to Rome to study under the great Italian composer Giacomo Carissimi, famous throughout Europe for his sacred music.
Almost all of what remains of Charpentier's religious music comes from this period, which accounted for the last twenty years of his life.
(1643 - 1704) Marc-Antoine Charpentier was born in Paris, probably into a family of artists.

 Marc-Antoine Charpentier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In additon, Charpentier served as the music teacher to Philippe, Duke of Chartres.
Two of his most famous compositions during his tenure were the Te Deum in D (H 146) and the Mass "Assumpta Est Maria" (H 11).
Many of his smaller works for one or two voices and instruments resemble the Italian cantata of the time, and share most features except for the name: Charpentier calls them air sérieux or air à boire if they are in French, but cantatas if they are in Italian.

 Marc Antoine Charpentier Biography / Biography of Marc Antoine Charpentier Biography Biography
The works of the French composer Marc Antoine Charpentier (1634-1704) are generally considered to be the epitome of the formal, learned style cultivated in French music in the late 17th century.
On Charpentier's return to Paris he collaborated with the playwright Molière on comedy-ballets after the latter's break with Jean Baptiste Lully; Charpentier was responsible for the music for La Mariage forcé (1672) and Le Malade imaginaire (1673).
While generally acclaimed for his sacred music, Charpentier's masterpiece is acknowledged to be his most successful opera, Médée, based on the drama by Pierre Corneille and mounted in Paris in 1693.

 France diplomatie - Une galerie de compositeurs
Charpentier fut étroitement dépendant du pouvoir sans partage de Lully, et sa vie de compositeur se situe au coeur des querelles et rivalités qui opposèrent les tenants de la musique française à ceux de l'art italien.
Dans ce contexte, l'originalité du « sçavant » Charpentier fut sans doute d'opérer dans sa musique une synthèse entre les éléments italianisants chers à son temps et un véritable style français.
À l'occasion de la commémoration du tricentenaire de la mort de Marc-Antoine Charpentier en 2004, le Ministère de la culture et de la communication vient de publier un site internet dédié au compositeur.

However, Charpentier worked not at the court, but rather on its fringes and thus had at least the occasional opportunity to set the text of the mass.
No works better exemplify the character and style of the music of Marc-Antoine Charpentier (1643-1704) than the settings on this recording, both probably dating from his last years, when he was "maître de musique" at La Sainte-Chapelle in Paris.
Few mass settings were composed for the French court under the "ancien régime", since the royal preference in worship was for the solemn low mass where the service was said, while the musicians simultaneously performed "grands motets" (mostly to psalm texts).

Charpentier réalisa également des commandes pour l'Académie française, l'Académie royale de sculpture et de peinture et pour l'abbaye de Port-Royal.
Avec Orphée descendant aux Enfers (1683), Charpentier donna un caractère profane à ses cantates et des formes spécifiques que reprirent ses successeurs, Nicolas Bernier (1665-1734), claveciniste, organiste et maître de musique à la Sainte-Chapelle à Paris, auteur de motets et de nombreuses cantates profanes et André Campra.
En 1684, Charpentier devint maître de musique chez les jésuites de Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis.

 Best in baroque from Florissants - The Washington Times: Entertainment
Tuesday's program featured two of Charpentier's short operas, the first of which was titled "Les Arts Florissants" ("The Flourishing" or "Flowering Arts").
In 1979, he founded Les Arts Florissants, a vocal and instrumental ensemble primarily dedicated to reviving and authentically performing neglected works of the French baroque period.
Now in its 25th year, the much-recorded troupe made an all-too-brief appearance at the Kennedy Center's Eisenhower Theater on Tuesday evening, highlighting two rarely performed short operas of Marc-Antoine Charpentier as part of the center's ongoing Festival of France.

In fact, with the exception of the Messe pour plusieurs instruments au lieu des orgues (the only work featuring a vocal ensemble), most listeners would be hard pressed to identify religious associations in these works without a hint from their titles.
Those familiar with the famous fanfare that begins Charpentier's Te Deum will delight in the equally celebratory Marche de triomphe pour les violons, trompettes, timbales, flutes, et hautbois that opens this program--a grand spectacular that the Köln musicians perform to the hilt.
Archiv's sound is equally spectacular with plenty of spatial presence and instrumental detail.

In 1672 he became Molière's musical collaborator when the latter broke with Lully; Charpentier composed prologues, entr'actes, and other music for the poet's Mariage forcé(1672) and Malade imaginaire(1673), and he continued collaborating with the Comédie-françaiseafter Molière's death in 1673.
The position required him to compose a large number of sacred works and music for special occasions (a Te Deum and the Judicium Salomonis).
During the 1680s Charpentier served as maître of the Jesuits' St. Louis church; he was also music teacher to Philippe, Duke of Chartres.

The author of the paintings accompanying this article is the same as that of the cover illustration—Georges de La Tour (1593-1652).
This circulation, quite exceptional, has allowed a reconsideration of Charpentier’s place within the western musical landscape.
Thus does Charpentier introduce himself in his astonishing piece in Latin entitled Epitaphium Carpentarii, in which he himself appears on the stage: he imagines that he returns to earth after his death, in the guise of a shade, and looks over his life with a curious mixture of humility and bitterness.

A prolific composer, he was more appreciated for his church music than his secular compositions.
Charpentier was favoured by the Dauphin and the Jesuits who appointed him music master at their St. Louis church and later at the Sainte-Chappelle.
In particular the Messe de Minuit pour Noël and the second of Charpentier's Te Deum settings, impressively scored for forces that include woodwind, trumpet, timpani and strings.
