Secret recipe of Witches and Enchantresses
Program to all audiences and an initiatory rite to contemporary music
A potion to make time stand still !
Contains: songs and incantations from the Middle Ages and today.
Effect: bewitchment...... Ancient and contemporary murmurings, sound transmutations, vocal improvisations, perambulations: a judicious mix of musical ingredients.
Warning: can lead to addiction to contemporary music...
Ingredients:
To begin the ritual, music from the Middle Ages :
• 1 motet-conductus from the Codex de las Huelgas
• 3 motets from the Llibre Vermell de Montserrat
• 2 dances from the Llibre Vermell de Montserrat
• 1 canon from the Reliquary of English Song
The preparation
1 Mix a medieval monody with a twentieth century double canon, a motet-conductus with a contemporary lullaby, an Afro-Cuban incantation with spectral music, and a danse macabre with a recent composition.
2 Leave the medieval monodies to stand using a little contemporary music. You will thus obtain old composition techniques suited to a modern musical language.
3 Finally, let it resonate for 50 minutes without a break in a space where witches and enchantresses wander around, appropriating the place. This potion with its surprising effects is the product of an alchemy of ancient and contemporary music, in a timeless fusion of sacred and pagan music.
To be consumed without restraint !
