The Brighton Consort present Au Noble Roi Francois: French Music Fit For A King
Vive la France! While Italy and England get a lot of attention from fans of Renaissance music, France was an incredibly important country during the Renaissance economically, militarily, and of course musically. We present music in a range of styles, both sacred and secular, that all have a connection with French royalty. Beautiful sacred music by Josquin, Richafort, Mouton, and Sermisy will be complemented by delicate and gentle secular music from the period as well as the significantly LESS delicate and gentle 'war chansons' La Prise de Calais by Guillaume Costeley and Clement Janequin's famous La Guerre! Ever wanted to hear a choir make sounds like canons and horses on the march? Now's your chance!
