The album "Messe à Six Voix Et Symphonie Assumpta Est Maria" by Marc Antoine Charpentier, performed by the Chorale des Jeunesses Musicales de France and Henriette Roget, is an exquisite example of Baroque choral music. The six-voice mass and the symphony "Assumpta Est Maria" are both masterfully executed, with clear and precise vocal lines, and well-balanced instrumentation.

The voices blend together seamlessly, creating a rich and harmonious sound that is both uplifting and moving.

The symphony "Assumpta Est Maria" is a highlight of the album, with its grandiose instrumentation and majestic choral passages. The Chorale des Jeunesses Musicales de France and Henriette Roget capture the grandeur of the piece, while still maintaining a sense of intimacy and emotion.
