"In Charpentier's body of work, there are pieces for just about every possible situation. That is precisely why this series will be a trilogy. The final installment will focus on a Requiem Mass, the second on Vespers, and here, we have motets of glory, martial motets. [...] It is a true premiere... This program is pure madness. Two choirs, two orchestras, eight soloists. We must make the most of it while we can still produce projects like this; it is truly exhilarating."
