Both Marian devotions and meditations on our own passing are appropriate for the Advent season. One of the most beautiful performances from Utrecht 2002 was Le Concert Spiritual directed by Herve Niquet with the Litanies of the Virgin by Charpentier and a very rare requiem by the early Baroque composer Pierre Bouteiller.

Preservation of this program is made possible by a generous grant from David Hamel.

NOTE: All of the music on this program is from the ensemble Le Concert Spirituel directed by Herve Niquet. This recording was made on the stage of the Vredenburg Music Center as part of the 2002 Holland Festival of Early Music at Utrecht with the generous assistance of Radio Nederland.
