Louis Dieudonn de Bourbon was crowned Louis XIV King of France on the 7th of June 1654 in Reims Cathedral. For this most important moment in the Iife of the Monarch, the ceremonial was as impressive as a sacred opera. Reims CathedraI, dressed in the finest pomp and spIendor, pIayed host to the greats of the Kingdom of France and the Princes of Europe. Unearthed through meticulous research, the music pIayed during this Coronation before God accompanies the ceremony aIong with the pomp of the decorations and the sung texts, the different musicaI ensembles and the great variety of instruments used, brought back to Iife thanks to a considerable number of performers, arranged according to their location in the sacred space. As this spIendid music is finalIy heard again, Sbastien Dauc, his ensemble Correspondances and Les Pages du Centre de Musique Baroque de VersailIes offer us a Coronation of Louis XlV in music, in the setting of the RoyaI ChapeI of the Palace of VersailIes: a reaI immersion in one of the most memorable ceremonies in the history of France. |
