Présentation

With a new work by Adrien Trybucki, the Pages and Singers of the Centre de Musique Baroque de Versailles, conducted by Fabien Armengaud and Clément Buonomo, offer a panorama of double-choir works from across the centuries, to mark the new partnership between the CMBV and Ircam.

 

In the image of Janus, the Roman god with two faces, one loking towards the past and the other towards the future, the CMBV has joined forces with Ircam, with the support of the French Ministry of Culture, to commission four new works from four young European composers for its Choir.

This third season sees the creation of a new work by French composer Adrien Trybucki, based on a text by Jacques Roubaud : La Maladie de l’âme (The Sickness of the Soul), for double-choir a capella and double direction. Marc-Antoine Charpentier’s Motet for the Dead, subtitled Laments of the Souls in Purgatory, is somewhat reminiscent of the circles of Hell in Dante’s Divine Comedy. In keeping with this double-choir theme, this programme will also feature works by Nicolas Formé, the favourite composer of Louis XIII, and Pierre Robert, chosen by Louis XIV to be one of the assistant masters of the Chapelle Royale. Frank Martin’s Mass for Double Choir, composed between 1922 and 1926, also illustrates this theme.

 

A meeting in the here and now, spanning the centuries from past to present.

Robert – Grands Motets sur le Cantique des Cantiques

N°51

Singularly sensual, deeply moving, the Song of Songs lifts the souls of the lovers into heavens where perfect and divine love reigns supreme – it is quite logical that this story was transcribed into Grands Motets, praising the virtues of total devotion for the glory of God… and the King!
