[Les promenades musicales du Pays d'Auge 32e édition] Alla Bastarda - L’extraordinaire ornement

2.30PM + 5.30PM: TOUR Discover the Château on a guided tour with the owners. 4pm: Concert The historic expression "alla bastarda" evokes the use of an instrument beyond the limits of its ordinary range. In this case, it applies to the 'extraordinary' art of ornamentation in late sixteenth-century Italy, the way in which long notes were chiselled and the strata of the music made to throb, from the sensual strings of the viol to the jewelled line of the solo voice. For Manon Papasergio, a multi-instrumentalist here on the viola da gamba, erudition feeds sensitivity: knowledge and skill would be nothing without the beating heart, the life in the fingers, the miraculous sense of expressive invention. With Yoann Moulin on harpsichord and organ, and soprano Clémence Niclas - the voice of the ApotropaïK ensemble - she introduces us to the musical jewellery of the late Renaissance.
