Discover the vocal music of Philippe de Vitry, an important figure of the Ars Nova movement in the 14th century!
Poet, friend of Petrarch, clergyman, Philippe de Vitry was also one of the main figures of the Ars Nova, which was to bring polyphonic and poetic refinement to its peak. This album, the first by the Ensemble Arborescence, is based on the research of David Chappuis after a careful study of the sources and attempts to place the singers in the performance conditions of the 14th century, with a historical pronunciation of the Latin. Recorded in Royaumont, it thus articulates the motets of Philippe de Vitry, from the motets of his youth to those of his maturity, with interludes composed by David Chappuis on the poems of Philippe de Vitry. This perspective thus offers a rediscovery of the work of one of the most fascinating musical personalities of the Middle Ages.
