Harmonic Treasury (Songs and Dances of the Renaissance

This recording delves into the world of 16th-century printed music and illuminates the rise of note printing and its impact on the dissemination of the works. Focusing on songs and dances of the Renaissance, the project reflects the emergence of a bourgeois audience enthusiastic about polyphony. Personalities such as Pierre Attaingnant played a key role in the fusion of vocal and instrumental music, paving the way for new forms of music creation. With a rich repertoire of French songs and Italian dances, this album showcases the influence of oral lore and improvisation. Pieces such as Doulce Mémoire and Pass'e mezzo demonstrate the virtuosity and creativity of the musicians of that time, while at the same time clarifying the importance of cultural exchange between France and Italy.
