On this day, composer Marc-Antoine Charpentier died.
His career was long and varied, taking in theatrical music, sonatas, sacred compositions and more. A court favourite, those of you who like a little Eurovision might hear something rather familiar in the opening seconds of his Te Deum, below.
This rather short post will, I hope, allow you plenty of time to listen to the wonderful twenty five minute clip that accompanies it!
