description
The French noël represents a tradition of popular Christmas celebration that developed from its earlier origins into a very considerable repertoire of songs in the sixteenth century, some of them derived melodically from plainchant and others making use of secular melodies. Charpentier made use of this material in his Messe de Minuit (Midnight Mass), written perhaps for Christmas 1694, and in instrumental arrangements from the late 1680s or early 1690s. The Mass is scored for four-part chorus, soloists, flutes, strings and continuo, and makes use of ten popular carol melodies, in the tradition of the earlier parody Mass.
