A leading specialist in madrigals and sacred music, Paul Agnew leads the vocal ensemble Les Arts Florissants on an exploration of the sacred vocal repertoire across 17th- and 18th-century Baroque Europe. Starting with the Italians Claudio Monteverdi and Carlo Gesualdo, moving on to William Byrd’s England, Fernando de las Infantas’ Spain and Orlando de Lassus’ France, the program also draws inspiration from musical traditions rooted in plainchant and cantus firmus, highlighting the historical links between the European sacred repertoire and the spiritual heritage of Jerusalem.
En grand spécialiste du madrigal et de la musique sacrée, Paul Agnew entraîne l’ensemble vocal des Arts Florissants dans une exploration répertoire vocal sacré à travers l’Europe baroque des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. Partant des italiens Claudio Monteverdi et Carlo Gesualdo, pour aller vers l’Angleterre de William Byrd, l’Espagne de Fernando de las Infantas ou la France d’Orlando de Lassus, le programme s’inspire également des traditions musicales enracinées dans le plain-chant et le cantus firmus, et met en lumière les liens historiques entre le répertoire sacré européen et l’héritage spirituel de Jérusalem.
