Description
The polyphony of the Renaissance is a repertoire whose richness continually amazes and astonishes. Born from nothingness - ex nihilo - its complex architecture fights against this emptiness by highlighting it through its flexible and diverse vocal lines. The conductor and singers of his ensemble Graindelavoix explore this polyphonic universe based on two themes that together depict the fabric of presence/absence: incarnation and lament. Josquin Desprez, the focus of the program, is surrounded by beautiful contemporaries: Jacob Obrecht, Giaches de Wert, Johannes Ockeghem.
