Michel Richard DELALANDE
Born in Paris in 1657, Michel-Richard Delalande was the fifteenth child of a master tailor, apprenticed in the chancel of the church of Saint Germain l'Auxerrois (along with Marin Marais) and studied only the organ and harpsichord. He was organist at St. Jean de Greve in 1682, and Saint-Gervais where he is temporarily acting between Charles and Francois Couperin of 1671 to 1686. It is introduced at Versailles by the Count de Noailles. He became, in 1683, one of the sub-masters of the Chapel Royal as a result of this famous contest that saw Marc-Antoine Charpentier fall "ill" and Henry Desmarest excluded. He was twenty-five years and is already the author of petits motets and certainly a dozen motets. Lalande was the fifteenth child of Michel Lalande, a Parisian master tailor and his wife Claude Dumoutiers. Most of the information we have on the early life come as usual documents notarial archives, parish registers, but also the Mercure Galant and a Discourse on the life and works of M. De la Lande Tannevot by Alexander, who served as a preface to the posthumous edition (1729) of 40 of his motets. April 15, 1667, Lalande includes - along with Marin Marais - the choir of the Parish of Royal Saint Germain l'Auxerrois, near the Louvre, where he stayed until November 18, 1672. François Chaperon, choir director, had said, we tend to entrust the solos as her voice was beautiful. In 1680, Hood was appointed to the Sainte-Chapelle and invites Lalande then 22 years old, to participate in the Darkness of Holy Week. As always, we know very little about the formation of Lalande. He would have played the violin, but have promised not to touch the instrument after having been rejected for a positionBecame deputy Kapellmeister to a district in 1683, Delalande becomes the official musician: it combines loads and titles. In 1693, he obtained a second quarter (or quarter. ), The January-April and then one in 1704 - the last remaining 1714. Delalande the death of the old King is the only official musician of the Chapel. The sacred work of Delalande is essentially 75 motets. From 1720 until his death, he worked on the revision of much of these motets (in particular, it will cut these motets in separate movements, when they were linked movements in the style of Dumont). We must add twenty small motets, Elevations, three lesson of darkness, a Mass in plain chant in the line of Dumont, two Spiritual Songs on texts of Racine, a beautiful Miserere in voice only. In 1684, he married Anne Rebel, daughter of Jean-Ferry Rebel Rebel and François sister (she died in 1722 - he married Marie-Louise de Cury to whom we owe the posthumous edition of forty Motets Delalande)Delalande often gives the image of a man modest and simple. Is it a picture? Just nominated for a district in 1683 in the chapel, he obtained the superintendency in the House in 1689. Thus, contrary to what one tends to believe, not Lully which is the ultimate musician Versailles is Delalande. He writes at least nineteen entertainment (clearly less important than its Lalande motets, they often come to us so fragmentary), often for a particular purpose. Thus in 1683: the Fountains of Versailles, The concert of Aesculapius, Love Berger, Epithalam for the marriage of the Duke of Bourbon, the Youth Ballet in 1686 (These works are written in the lifetime of Lully - we note So that Lalande knows to slip between the yoke of the Florentine). Subsequently, he wrote Love declined by consistency in 1697 - and during the Regency, Les Folies de Cardenio, the Unknown, and The Elements in collaboration with Destouches. Add the Symphonies for the King's dinner, for the twenty-four violins, often extracted from entertainment. He does not write Lyrique Tragedy: it certainly does not compete with Lully, it can adapt to new standards imposed by Madame de Maintenon. It was at Versailles unparalleled power. It is THE musician King: we know that the meeting on the occasion of the death of their respective children (the Dauphin died of smallpox April 14, 1711, and two rows of the musician of the same epidemic) "You have lost two girls who had much merit, said the king, my lord I lost. Lalande, you must submit. "There is in this way the call Lalande, not Delalande, a way of ennobling. These are the students of Collin Destouches and Blamont who succeeded him as superintendent. He was made a Chevalier of the Order of St. Michael by Louis XV in 1722. He died equipped with sacraments at Versailles in 1726. It will be the first representation of Spiritual concert repertoire until the end of the eighteenth century. There are some essential music. That of being known Delalande. Not heeding his De Profundis is to forego intense musical emotion. The new Royal Chapel of Versailles built at the end of the reign of Louis XIV and his magnificent gallery of musicians placed around the organ is essentially the place of music Delalande. Previously "stuck" in the old chapel much smaller, the motets were sounding much more "dry". This new architecture, this new sound is certainly not foreign to the work of rewriting that made Delalande at the end of his life.
