EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the opening page of the Mass for Double Choir by Nicolas Forme, a renowned French composer of the 17th century. Printed in Paris by Pierre Ballard in 1638, this engraving showcases the intricate beauty and musical brilliance of Forme's composition. The Mass for Double Choir is dedicated to two significant figures in French history: Henri IV and his son, Louis XIII. It serves as a testament to their influence and patronage of the arts during their respective reigns. This sacred piece was composed for four voices and two choirs, creating a harmonious blend that resonates with religious fervor. Displayed at Bibliotheque Sainte-Genevieve in Paris, France, this historical artifact holds immense cultural value. Its significance lies not only in its musicality but also in its representation of Baroque religious music from the era. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when choral compositions like these were performed with great reverence and devotion. The Kyrie Eleison echoes through our minds as we imagine the powerful vocals filling grand cathedrals. This print reminds us of the enduring legacy left behind by composers like Nicolas Forme and their contributions to classical music. It serves as an invitation to appreciate both the artistic mastery captured within this score and its historical context within French culture.
