Quoi de plus goûté et mondain, dans cette fin de XVIIe siècle, que les « Ténèbres » pour lesquelles on se presse aux portes des couvents parisiens, pendant la Semaine sainte ? L’Académie royale de musique fermait ses portes en cette période et les offices de Nocturnes des Mercredi, Jeudi et Vendredi saints comblaient un public raffiné et exigeant.
Des Leçons de Ténèbres de François Couperin, motets à voix seules composés pour les dames de l’abbaye de Longchamp en 1714, on ne conserve que les trois Leçons pour le Mercredi saint. Le sublime trouve ici son incarnation, attestant de la virtuosité vocale et de la maîtrise musicale des religieuses. Quant aux Leçons de Ténèbres de Marc-Antoine Charpentier, composées dans les années 1670-1690, elles figurent parmi les meilleures compositions du genre. Christophe Rousset en propose une sélection choisie entre les trente et une Leçons, dont le corpus se trouve aujourd’hui dispersé. La musique française y empreinte des italianismes si chers au compositeur trouve ici son expression la plus chatoyante, dans une dramatisation de la langue sublimée d’artifices proprement opératiques.

What could be more tasteful and worldly, at the end of the 17th century , than the “  Darkness  ” for which people flock to the doors of Parisian convents during Holy Week? The Royal Academy of Music closed its doors at this time and the Nocturnal services on Wednesday, Thursday and Good Friday filled a refined and demanding audience.
From the Leçons de Ténèbres by François Couperin, motets for solo voices composed for the ladies of Longchamp Abbey in 1714, only the three Lessons for Holy Wednesday have been preserved . The sublime finds its incarnation here, attesting to the vocal virtuosity and musical mastery of the nuns. As for the Leçons de Ténèbres by Marc-Antoine Charpentier, composed in the years 1670-1690, they are among the best compositions of the genre. Christophe Rousset offers a selection chosen from the thirty-one Leçons , the corpus of which is today scattered. French music imbued with the Italianisms so dear to the composer finds here its most shimmering expression, in a dramatization of the language sublimated with truly operatic artifices.
