FR:
❤️ L’amour courtois et le désir sont des thèmes centraux dans la poésie des troubadours (occitan), trouvères (ancien français) et Minnesänger (allemand). Apparu au XIIe siècle dans les cours aristocratiques de l’Europe médiévale, l’amour courtois est à la fois une convention littéraire et le reflet de dynamiques sociales en mutation, notamment l’influence croissante de la noblesse et l’essor des idéaux chevaleresques. Ces poètes-musiciens médiévaux ont composé des œuvres musicales exprimant souvent un amour idéalisé, mêlant passion, devoir féodal et imagerie religieuse. Guillaume de Machaut a ensuite affiné et enrichi ces traditions, maîtrisant l’art d’exprimer l’amour courtois à la fois en poésie et en musique.
L’ensemble médiéval montréalais COMTESSA est heureux de donner vie à ce thème en concert dans la chapelle (également appelée « la crypte ») de la mythique Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours à Montréal (QC). Grâce à des techniques d’interprétation historiquement informées et à l’usage d’instruments d’époque, COMTESSA recrée l’univers sonore du Moyen Âge. Embarquez avec nous dans ce voyage où Len Torrie chante la poésie de ce programme dans les langues médiévales originales, Isabelle Douailly-Backman vous charme au son de la vielle médiévale, et Maria Gajraj vous transporte dans une autre époque grâce aux sonorités méditatives de l’organetto.

❤️ Courtly love and desire are central themes in the poetry of the troubadours (Occitan), trouvères (Old French), and Minnesänger (German). Emerging in the 12th century within the aristocratic courts of medieval Europe, courtly love was both a literary convention and a reflection of shifting social dynamics, notably the growing influence of the nobility and the rise of chivalric ideals. These medieval poet-musicians composed works that often expressed an idealized love, blending passion, feudal duty, and religious imagery. Guillaume de Machaut later refined and enriched these traditions, mastering the art of expressing courtly love in both poetry and music.
COMTESSA is delighted to bring this theme to life in concert at the chapel (also known as “the crypt”) of the historic Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours in Montreal, QC. Join us on this journey as Len Torrie sings the poetry of this program in the original medieval languages, Isabelle Douailly-Backman serenades you with the sounds of the medieval fiddle, and Maria Gajraj transports you to another era with the meditative sonorities of the organetto.
