Born in Normandy and largely self-taught in musical theory, Sebastien de Brossard (1655-1730) spent most of his career directing cathedral choirs in Strasbourg, Meaux, and other Alsatian cities. Brossard's 'Grands Motets' are plainly in the tradition of Lully, but have less of French elegance and more of German seriousness about them, a quality perhaps suited to Alsatian taste. Brossard has been better known as a musical theorist and as the author of the first musical dictionary in the French language, but his compositions are quite well-crafted and concert-worthy. He ranks, I think, with Delalande, Dumont, Charpentier, and a notch or two below Lully himself and Rameau. Nearly every French Baroque composer worth his salt wrote a Grand Motet on the text of Psalm 125, "In convertendo Dominus captivitatem Sion," and it's quite interesting to compare the various expressions of rejoicing in the Lord's favor.
The third motet on this CD is of enormous historical interest. It's one of the grandest and longest of the Baroque Grands Motets, at 40 minutes. It was composed for the celebration of the 'inclusion' of Strasbourg into France. Details of its single public performance on Sept. 30, 1681, were included in a 114-page parchment-bound manuscript along with the score, thus making a kind of archival statement of the respect his Jesuit employers felt for the composer.
A Grand Motet can never be grander than its performance. Fortunately, this performance by Cristophe Coin and the Ensemble Baroque de Limoges is both grand and artful. The civic and departmental governments of Limoges and the Limousin played a large role in supporting this ensemble and subsidizing this performance. Money can't always buy musical skills, of course, but the lesser-known soloists and chorists on this CD are all musically first class. The best-known instrumentalist are Bruno Cocset, bass viol, and Claude Wassmer, bassoon, who anchor the bottom lines of the orchestra with proper authority. Brossard, by the way, had the good sense and taste to assign the bassoon the principal role in continuo, with occasional riffs that are mighty fun to play.
