Concert de la Passion

For its Passion concert, the Ensemble vocal de Saint-Maurice will perform the "Libre Vermell de Montserrat" with Hirundo Maris, Arianna Savall and Petter Udland Johannsen.

Together, they will celebrate this jewel of the Spanish Middle Ages. Protected by its red cover, this 14th-century manuscript brings together pilgrimage music for the shrine of the Virgin of Montserrat in Catalonia, the region from which the Savall family hails, which is a nice touch.

The commentary at the beginning of the book is very clear on the nature of the works: "When keeping vigil at night in the church of Our Lady of Montserrat, pilgrims sometimes wish to sing and dance, and also during the day in the forecourt. However, only chaste and pious songs should be sung in this place. That's why we've transcribed some of them above and below. They should therefore be used with modesty, taking care not to disturb those immersed in prayer or contemplative devotion."

A variety of pieces in Latin, Catalan and Occitan will therefore be offered, some of them dancing, in the spirit of the praises of the period. This plurality of vocal colors will be reinforced by the variety of sound provided by historic instruments.
