Concert « De la Renaissance au baroque » musique pour clavecin des XVIe et XVIIe siècles

In the 17th century, instrument making took off phenomenally, at the same time

that the technique of the instrumentalists reached previously unthinkable levels.

was the century of keyboards.

This astonishing development had its roots in the musical language of the

Renaissance. In addition to the conference on music, organized as part of

of the 13th Rencontres de Bournazel, this concert will illustrate the change in aesthetics

leading to the birth of European Baroque, with works by composers

Italian, English, Dutch, German and French.

For this varied musical journey, Elisabeth Joyé will play on instruments used

during the Renaissance (spinet and virginal), to achieve the balance of the harpsichord

original by Claude Labrèche from 1699 preserved in Bournazel, synthesis between the

Renaissance and Baroque.
