Chansonnettes frisquettes, joliettes et godinettes

Description

Alongside religious music, often complex, Renaissance songs are simple and light musical forms, where the text often takes on the main importance. And these airs, these songs then tell better than history books do the pleasures and sorrows of everyday life at the time. “Chansonnettes” is the kind of gift that Doulce Mémoire and Denis Raisin-Dadre offer at the end of their concerts, with a selection of Renaissance songs performed in a playful atmosphere, even if emotion is more present than ever. Included are Mignonne allons voir si la rose by Jehan Chardavoine, as well as songs by Jehan Le Roy (As-tu point vu ce grand vilain, Ma maîtresse est toute angelette...), by Jacques Arcadelt (Margot, labourez les vignes), and also songs inspired by Jean de Nivelle. A celebratory album that marks the 25th anniversary of the ensemble Doulce Mémoire and invites you to sing these timeless airs yourself!
