Written for the chapel of Louis XIV, the grands motetsformed a central part of the musical life of Europe’s most dazzling court. With all the splendour and theatre afforded by soloists, two choirs and large orchestral forces, Jean-Baptiste Lully evoked emotions from deepest sorrow to unbounded joy for a powerful monarch.
