In
his roles as Music
Director at the Cathedral
of Notre Dame in Paris
and in the Royal Choir
[chapel] of Louis XV,
Andre Campra (1660-1744)
composed numerous motets
which frequently
displayed the influence
of contemporary opera. If
today Campra is known
almost exclusively for
his famous Requiem,
nevertheless his more
than forty motets
composed for soli, choir
and orchestra are still
awaiting discovery. Among
these is a setting of
Psalm 129, De profundis,
published here in a new
critical edition after
the autograph score. The
work was composed in 1723
during the first months
of Campra's service to
the French king and it
proves to be the equal to
the compositions of
Michel-Richard de
Lalande, who during his
lifetime shaped and
dominated the genre of
the Grand Motet.. Score
