• L ? homme armé, tears and alarms - The program for this concert revolves around the character of L'homme armé, a song that appeared around the middle of the 15th century, no doubt in the wake of the new orders of chivalry, valorizing the warrior who died in battle, with the Requiem by Pierre de La Rue (c. 1460-1518), enriched by those of Jean Richafort (c. 1480-c. 1547) and Antoine Fevin (1470-1512), and followed by a mass of thanksgiving in tribute to him. This is a parody mass on the various themes of famous musical battles of their time, composed by : Pierre de La Rue, Jean de Bournonville (c. 1585-1632), Giovanni Pierluigi Palestrina (c. 1525-1594), Pedro Bermúdes (1558-1605) and Clément Janequin (1558-1605). From lamentation to jubilation, the diversity of compositional forms, the range of casts from two to eight voices, and the association of voices and instruments reveal the richness of practices and the wide palette of colors typical of Renaissance music.
