SAINT-FELIX-LAURAGAIS
Vocal polyphony combines melodic and harmonic dimensions, allowing the timbres and colours of different voices to be heard in perfect balance between the main tessituras that make up the quartet. For the organ, as for the voice, there is a question of a wind tunnel to ‘activate’ the instrument. Here again, as with the voice, the organ’s multiple stops, which modulate the sound produced, offer an infinite variation of increasingly complex melodies. So it seems only natural to bring voice and organ together in the same programme, and that’s what the Ut Musica Poesis collective and organist Luc Antonini will be doing in this concert, which will explore seven centuries of sacred music, from the Middle Ages to the present day.
Works by Josquin des Prez, Roland de Lassus, Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck, Henry Purcell, Johann Sebastian Bach, Franz Liszt, Anton Bruckner, Déodat de Séverac, Francis Poulenc, Alfred Desenclos, Olivier Messiaen…
