Composed in 1694, Marc-Antoine Charpentier’s “Messe de Minuit pour Noel” is based on captivating, folksong-like noels steeped in the composer’s characteristic balance of irresistible dance rhythms and sophisticated harmonies. The Consort will complement Charpentier’s Mass with haunting English “Balulalows” for voices set amid joyful instrumental concertos by Vivaldi and other Italian baroque masters.
