1/5. Early Life. Donald Macleod presents a chronological survey of the life of 17th-century French composer Marc-Antoine Charpentier , who died 300 years ago this week. A contemporary of Lully and Rameau, Charpentier was born in Paris. After studying in Italy with Giacomo Carissimi he returned to his birth place and found a position as a singer and music masterto the Duchessede Guise. His big break came when Moliere fell out with his musical collaborator Lully, and asked Charpentier to write the music for his comedy Le Malade Imaginaire.
