Full program notes
Whilst studying classical music in conservatory, I rarely encountered music that was composed before the 18th century. And yet, Medieval and Renaissance composers have inspired centuries of musical composition and performance. Many 20th composers went back to the use of modes : were they looking back at the long forgotten past preceding the use of functional harmony, or perhaps connecting with folk and popular music of their time ?
« Trobar » brings together music from France and the surrounding regions, at either end of traditional tonal history. Songs from 12th century troubadours are interwoven with music from the turn of the 20th century onwards, such as Cecile Chaminade, Maurice Ravel, Marcel Grandjany, Debussy, etc.
