Original & Bearbeitung: Eine typisch französische Weihnachtstradition sind Orgelimprovisationen über alte Weihnachtslieder, die sogenannten Noëls. Starorganisten wie Dandrieu oder Balbastre veröffentlichten im 18. Jahrhundert ihre Bearbeitungen. Gespielt von Gaétan Jarry entfalten sie auf der großen Orgel der Schlosskapelle von Versailles ihre ganze Pracht und Wirkung. Les Pages du CMBV interpretieren dazu die Vokalversionen.

Gaétan Jarry
French Conductor and organist born in 1986, Gaétan Jarry is the founder of the ensemble Marguerite Louise. After a musical journey rewarded by numerous first prizes from the conservatories of Versailles and of Saint-Maur-desFossés (in the class of Frédéric Desenclos and Eric Lebrun), Gaétan Jarry completed his musical studies at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris from where he graduated with a bachelors’ degree as an organist-performer in 2010 from the class of Olivier Latry and Michel Bouvard. Organist at the church of Saint Jeanne d’Arc of Versailles, in 2016, he became co-titular organist of the Great historic organs of Saint Gervais in Paris. From 2010 to 2017, Gaétan Jarry was also director of the choir school of the Petits Chanteurs de Saint François de Versailles, a vocation of which he continues to share his experience with diverse childrens’ choirs. His passion for the voice and for early repertoires led him to create the ensemble Marguerite Louise, a choir and orchestra of reference on the new baroque scene. As conductor and soloist, he performs in France and abroad and regularly collaborates with the Château de Versailles, at the heart of which he performs at the head of his ensemble in the repertoire of sacred music, chamber music and opera. Gaétan Jarry devotes a large part of his discography to French baroque music.

In 2015, he brought out with Marguerite Louise his first recordings « Motets pour une Princesse » (Encelade label), dedicated to hitherto unheard of chefs d’œuvres by Charpentier; a recording hailed by the critics which enabled the ensemble to make its mark: a unique emotional intensity a rich generous and personal sound imprint. In 2017 Marguerite Louise interpreted the emblematic opera by Charpentier Les Arts Florissans, the subject of a recording released on the Château de Versailles Spectacle label in 2018 and unanimously considered as a reference (5 Diapasons, 5 Classica Stars and a Diamond from Opéra Magazine). His last recording, entitled Messe du Roi Soleil (The Sun King’s Mass) also instils the Marguerite Louise aesthetic into the repertoire for large choir and orchestra, that of the royal grands motets by Lully and Delalande. This recording released on the Château de Versailles Spectacle label received 5 diapasons and 5 Classica Stars. For the coming year, Gaétan Jarry is bringing out three other recordings, of which one devoted to the Missa Assumpta est by Marc-Antoine Charpentier and another on Handel’s organ concertos.
