Leçons de Ténèbres (Lessons of Darkness)

French Baroque master Francois Couperin’s Trois Leçons de Ténèbres are not only among the finest setting of the texts for the office of Tenebrae, but some of the most refined, intimate, and powerful vocal music ever written. Scored for sopranos and organ, they offer a focal point for an evening of reflection amidst organ improvisation, plainchant, and candlelight.

Tenebrae services take place in near darkness. After each reading or musical piece, a candle is extinguished.
