In nativitatem Domini canticum H. 416 夏邦提耶马克－安东尼 骑熊士版

夏朋蒂埃在巴黎圣路易教堂担任音乐总监期间（约 1690 年）创作了《In nativitatem Domini canticum》。该作品继承了卡里西米及其同时代人清唱剧的传统，但更容易被描述为 "大组曲 "或 "神圣史诗"，而这正是夏朋蒂埃擅长的体裁。这部作品很可能是为了在圣诞节的弥撒中演奏，因此具有路易十四时期巴黎的礼仪功能"

原文简介:
Charpentier composed “ In nativitatem Domini canticum ” during his period as maître de musique at the church of St Louis in Paris (around 1690). It is in the tradition of the oratorios of Carissimi and his contemporaries, but is more easily described as a “Grand Motet” or “Histoire sacrée ”, a genre in which Charpentier excelled. The work was probably intended for performance during mass on Christmas Day and thus had a liturgical function as was customary during the period of Louis XIV in Paris.

The text presents the Christmas story in three sections: the chorus of the faithful, the actual story of the birth of Jesus and the adoration of the shepherds in the fields. The music reveals a subtle mixture of French and Italian styles with dramatic elements.

For the first time this work, prepared by the acknowledged Charpentier expert Joel Schwindt , is presented in a scholarly-critical edition where all sources have been consulted.

A detailed foreword and critical commentary provide detailed information which fulfil all the criteria of an Urtext edition.
