La route de l'Orient

Description

At the dawn of the 16th century, music played an unsuspected role in the slow process of evangelization and the rise of colonization. Everything was good to win the hearts of the indigenous people and the (noble) savage. The dreamy sound of the straight flute or the fiery flights of a choral piece did much more for the rapprochement of peoples than brutal invective or the threat of a musket. A book-disc, published by Jordi Savall's Alia Vox label, titled La Route de l'Orient, conveniently reminds us of the complexity of these strange unions between music, economy, and religion. It is a work about the life of one of those early explorers of the planet: a Jesuit missionary. Francisco de Jaso, known as Francis Xavier (1506-1552), was one of Ignatius of Loyola's companions and participated with him in the founding of the Society of Jesus. In the tumultuous context of triumphant Humanism, the Protestant schism, and the Counter-Reformation, these erudite theologians, dialecticians versed in sciences and philosophy, speaking several languages and trained in the art of war, formed a true army of the Faith. The epic of Francis Xavier is one of the most beautiful illustrations of this.
