The splendor of the Reign of the Sun King, France's Louis XIV, shimmers throughout this program as the early music specialists in the Santa Fe Desert Chorale shine a light on the French Baroque. Favored at the Palace of Versailles, François Couperin's Leçons de ténèbres is a central work on a program which also features compositions by contemporaries Marc-Antoine Charpentier and Jean-Philippe Rameau.
