The “offices of darkness”, which set them to music, particularly marked religious life throughout the Great Century: from the 600 Parisian convents to the abbeys of all the provinces of the kingdom, including certain parishes, the clergy took advantage of this extraordinary ceremonial to mark souls. The rite is first marked by the progressive darkness which comes to its conclusion, as the candles go out. Gradually leaving aside the austere plainsong, composers then imagined sublime polyphonies most often taking place in convents, therefore in equal voices. Their writing provides a form of spell, firstly linked to the structure of the text and the fact that it is punctuated with Hebrew letters, on Les longue vocalises. Charpentier is the composer of this era who provided the most Lessons of Darkness. His style clearly varies depending on the context: from the flourishing ornamentations of the Abbaye-aux-Bois, to the splendid gravity of the Leçons pour Les Jésuites in this concert, the music is always of depth and fervor. unheard of
