Pâques à Notre-Dame is an album of Easter choral music performed by members of the Maîtrise Notre-Dame de Paris, which provides training and performance opportunities for talented children, youth and adults. The album spans six centuries and the musical cultures of France, Italy, and Germany, and includes the last polyphonic work performed at Notre-Dame before the great cathedral was destroyed by fire amid preparations for Easter 2019. The conductor is Henri Chalet, director of the Maîtrise, and the organ features Yves Castagnet, who also composed three of the works on the program, which were recorded at the Basilica Sainte-Clotilde, another great Parisian church. As Henri Chalet says, “We know that Notre-Dame will rise again”.
