Le Miroir de Musique, Chansonnier du Roi
September 4 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Le Miroir de Musique
Chansonnier du Roi
Around 1300, an anonymous compiler collected music that was already falling out of fashion: monophonic trouvère songs and troubadour poetry in Frenchified Occitan. Le Miroir de Musique became fascinated by the enigmatic Chansonnier du Roi: a privileged witness of cultural exchange between North and South, filled with sacred and secular repertoire. With ars antiqua motets, chansons, and instrumental pieces, Baptiste Romain and his ensemble open a sonic window into this museum without walls.
