Sublime!!! Bravo!!

Beautiful motet, very meditative and essential, far away from the flamboyant Versailles tradition and more akin certain atmospheres of previous decades.

I guess it makes sense as this is one of De Lalande's very earliest grand motets (composed in 1682) and the earliest one with a recording.
