CANTICUM NOVUM; EMMANUEL BARDON - CANTICUM NOVUM: LAUDARIO - MUSIQUE AU TEMPS DE SAINT FRANCOIS D'A

Canticum Novum sheds new light on the wonderful medieval repertory of Tuscan laude. Taken from the Laudario di Cortona, these popular sacred songs of praise from the time of St Francis of Assisi, overflowing with poetry and sunshine, are transcended by Emmanuel Bardon and his ensemble. Appropriating another culture and playing it through the prism of one's own culture, not to imitate it but to resonate with it: this I show the art project Canticum Novum has been defining it's deep self for many years now. Working this way, the musicians forming the ensemble constantly question their own musical identity, the way they play their instruments. They often accept to leave their comfort zone and to relearn how to play, adapting to the repertory to be interpreted and their present colleagues. The idea is not to contort oneself in order to play another repertory but to move towards it.
