About

The Tenebrae are among the prayers of the hours of Holy Week in the Catholic Church. Since the 15th century, settings of Jeremiah’s Lamentations have been an integral part of church services, which, especially in France, were among the musical highlights of this otherwise rather “musicless” period.

Lully’s father-in-law, Michel Lambert (1610-1696), was court Kapellmeister in Versailles from 1670. His Leçons de ténèbres are characterised by a subtle setting of texts, which use sparse but all the more delicately applied ornamentation. Soprano Monique Zanetti and the ensemble Les Temps Présents present us here the Leçons for the Wednesday of Holy Week.
