About This Song
About "Le temple de la gloire, RCT 59, Acte I Scène 3: III. "Un roi, s'il veut être heureux"" by Choeur De Chambre De Namur
Rameau’s opera-ballet sparkles with Enlightenment wit: a solo air from Act I, where a king’s happiness is debated over a lattice of flutes and harpsichord. The Choeur de Namur renders the French text with crisp elegance, the emotional tension between duty and delight played out in delicate, ornamented lines.
