They are gems of Baroque music, true works of art in which the composer perfectly harmonizes expressive harmony and intricate melody with the expressive text of the <em>Lamentations of Jeremiah<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The richness of the text&#8217;s symbolism and the moving beauty of the Catholic liturgy of Holy Week are both reflected in Couperin&#8217;s brilliant music. The ornamentation used in<em> Le\u00e7ons de <em>t\u00e9n\u00e8bres<\/em><\/em>, typical of French music, gives the work a distinct color, while the harmonic freedom rooted in the Italian tradition serves to express the profound themes of the Old Testament. The religious tone of the composition is emphasized by vocalizations inspired by Gregorian chant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The prophet&#8217;s despair over the fall of Jerusalem &#8211; one of the most dramatic and poignant liturgical texts -is embodied in sounds full of balance and serenity. Expression lies within each individual note, while the harmoniously composed whole transports the listener to a transcendent dimension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; color: #999999;\">Marta Dziewanowska-Pachowska<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>PROGRAM<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Fran\u00e7ois Couperin<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Le\u00e7ons de T\u00e9n\u00e8bres<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-small-font-size\">Incipit Lamentatio Jeremiae Prophetae<br>Vau.
