Directed by William Christie, the “Les Arts Florissants” collection from Les Éditions des Abbesses is making hitherto unpublished early music works, both sacred and secular and central to the ensemble’s repertoire, available to amateurs and professionnals alike.

The originality of this collection lays in its editorial criteria: faithfulness to the original sources as well as to the basic principles of period notation.

The scholarly edition of all the volumes in the “Les Arts Florissants” collection is overseen by a committee chaired by William Christie and Fannie Vernaz and made up of specialists, musicians, musicologists, translators and editors (John Powell, Sébastien Daucé, Catherine Massip, Benoît Hartoin, Pascal Duc etc.). 
The honorary committee of the collection comprises H. Wiley Hitchcock †, Andrew Parmley and Dominique Visse. 
The first six volumes of this collection were published between 2004 and 2010 with the support of the Fondation Louis D. of the Institut de France.
