The Christmas Oratorio is a dramatic composition based on biblical texts and which was intended to be performed on the occasion of the liturgy. But its great musical power as well as the dramaturgy of the subject give it almost a dimension of sacred opera. Composed of six parts (or cantatas), this oratorio knows a current tradition which consists in giving only the first three. However, this concert with the excellent Ensemble Baroque du Léman and Ensemble Labyrinthe will allow you to hear the first cantata which celebrates the birth of Jesus and the last two which tell the story of the Magi.

L’Oratorio de Noël est une composition dramatique qui s’appuie sur des textes bibliques et qui était destinée à être exécutée à l’occasion de la liturgie. Mais sa grande puissance musicale ainsi que la dramaturgie du propos lui confèrent quasiment une dimension d’opéra sacré. Composé de six parties (ou cantates), cet oratorio connaît une tradition actuelle qui consiste à n’en donner que les trois premières. Cependant ce concert avec les excellents Ensemble Baroque du Léman et Ensemble Labyrinthe vous permettra d’entendre la première cantate qui célèbre la naissance de Jésus et les deux dernières qui content le récit des rois mages.
