Amour toujours! The beautiful rhyme contains its share of promises and disillusions. That’s what the latest album by Brigitte Lesne and her ensemble Alla Francesca tells us. A singer and leader of ensembles such as Discantus and Alla Francesca, Brigitte Lesne has dedicated her life to medieval music and has become one of the best specialists. She also performs in a variety of recitals, accompanying herself on various instruments, medieval harps and percussion instruments. We find a long string of sacred and secular songs here in a mixture that may surprise us today but which people in the Middle Ages were particularly fond of.
The same theme, for example that of the "Armed Man", can go through these troubled times by taking on different words or even be included in the ordinary of a Mass. This musical and poetic journey oscillates between monody and polyphony at a time when Western classical music was gradually taking shape. It was an intellectual way of playing based on Latin or vernacular texts that would go on to permeate the musical forms of this distant era: songs, rondeaux, motets and narrative texts. It is also the opening on the infinite variations of the Map of Tendre and its loving universe. © François Hudry/Qobuz
