Les musicales de l'Hôtel de Ville
Les musicales de l'Hôtel de Ville "Airs de cour" (Court airs)
A secular genre emblematic of the whole of 17th-century France, the air de cour, combining poetry and music, illustrates the growing refinement of the salons and high society.
Vocal music played a predominant role. Because of its rhetorical and expressive qualities, the voice was the model for music, and the literary text was the medium for the development of musical language.
A new poetry, more lyrical and gallant, imitating both ancient and contemporary Italian models, responded to the new musical genre of airs de cour. This concert will also feature instrumental pieces that will punctuate and nourish the sensitive atmosphere of this programme.
Programme: P. Guedron, A. Boesset, E. Moulinier, M. Lambert, J.M. Hotteterre
WithClaudine Bunod, voice / Keiko Murakami, transverse flute / Chantal Baeumler, viola da gamba / Nicolas Aubin, harpsichord
In partnership with the Pays de Montbéliard Agglomération Conservatoire
