Marc-Antoine Charpentier's Christmas mass, the Messe de Minuit, is throughly in the French tradition, celebrating the joyful news of the Birth of Christ with cheerful happiness. In this midnight mass, composed in 1694, ten traditional French Christmas hymns have been rearranged, lending the work a dance-like energy alongside charming tone coloring. In independent movements the relatively small instrumental ensemble consisting of two flutes, strings and organ plays a significant role in the musical events of this mass, alternating with various combinations of the vocal parts. Solo voices are only used together in small ensembles and, in accordance with the practices of the period, the boundaries between solo ensemble and choir are fluid, meaning that these solo passages can also be sung by members of the choir. Score and part available separately - see item CA.2102900.

Latin.

The composer wrote of his work as follows: The text of the three motets takes three motifs from the story of the birth of Jesus: (1) the joy of the Magi at seeing the Star, (2) Mary s cradle song as she rocks the Baby, and (3) the choir of Angels praising the joyful news in song. The movements may also be performed singly, but it is best for them to be heard together as a cycle. Their style and tonal system are marked by modulating modality .

So schrieb der Komponist über sein Werk: Der Text der drei Motetten greift drei Bilder aus der Geschichte von Jesu Geburt heraus: (1) die Szene der den Stern erblickenden und frohlockenden Weisen aus dem Morgenland, (2) die das Kind in der Wiege schaukelnde Maria und (3) der die Frohe Botschaft mit Lobgesang feiernde Chor der Engel. Die Sätze können auch einzeln aufgeführt werden, doch am besten ist es, wenn sie zusammen als Zyklus erklingen. Ihre Stile und Tonsysteme sind hauptsächlich von‚ modulierender Modalität‘ geprägt.“.
