This Recording juxtapose the music of Marc-Antoine Charpentier with that of Northern Indian classical music. The Tenebrae are readings from the lamentations of Jeremiah, sung from dusk to dawn on the nights of Wednesday, Thursday, and the holy Friday in the catholic liturgy. Each verse is preceded by a Hebrew letter on which the musical composition is traditionally vocalized. The midnight raga or dabari is one of the „deep night“. The „lover“ weeps for the absence of Krishna „who carries the Grange in his hair“. Alapa: introduction to a raga.
