Les Idées heureuses - Jamais je ne t’oublierai: échos du Moyen Âge dans nos chants du terroir

Guest presenters

For this second concert of the season, Dorothéa Ventura invites one of her long-time accomplices to introduce us to his musical universe. She has entrusted Jean-François Daignault with a concert in the Carte blanche series, during which you will hear a playful juxtaposition of medieval and Renaissance music with French-Canadian folk tunes, highlighting their similarities in writing techniques, sonorities, themes and characters.

You'll discover little-known works from the 12th to 16th centuries by Hildegard von Bingen, Guillaume Dufay, Josquin des Prés and Johannes Ciconia, and be sure to recognise popular tunes such as Partons la mer est belle, M'en revenant de la jolie Rochelle and, of course, À la claire fontaine... which you'll still be humming long after
the concert!

An original idea from Jean-François Daignault, who is responsible for the musical direction and brilliant arrangements.
