ReRenaissance-Basel: Quodlibet

Description

This concert program highlights unusual musical forms and a great freedom of interpretation. The term "Quodlibet" can be translated as "at will." Even today, it refers to a musical composition that combines different melodies or themes, often humorously or creatively. Well-known melodies or motifs are fused in such a way that they resonate simultaneously, creating a lively and nuanced soundscape. The enigmatic canon was another master discipline. Virtuosos such as Josquin des Prez or Jacobus de Liège outdid each other with complex structures and hidden clues. These compositions challenge both musicians and the audience to discover hidden messages and solve musical riddles.
