François Couperin’s Tenebrae (the “dark hours”) sets to music the verses of the Lamentations of Jeremiah, traditionally heard during the Holy Week leading up to Easter, and marked by the extinguishing of candles as a sign of mourning. Internationally acclaimed French ensemble Le Poème Harmonique deftly performs Couperin’s intimate, sorrowful melodies in a moving candlelit concert.
