Not only at Christmas time...
Marc Antoine Charpentier's instrumental Noëls enchant with their elegant dance movements all year round. Dagmar Scherschmidt has combined the ‘Noëls sur les instruments’, the ‘Noëls pour les instruments’ and the ‘Agnus Dei’ from the ‘Messe de Minuit’ and arranged them for recorder quartet SATB, or recorder octet SATB TBGbSb, or recorder orchestra, in each case with harpsichord ad libitum, whereby the colours of sound composed by Charpentier are captured in particular through an alternation of high choir and low choir.
This arrangement with music from the time of Louis XIV is available in an edition for recorder quartet SATB with harpsichord ad libitum. Individual parts for low choir (TBGbSb) are available separately.
