Ensemble Diabolus In MusicaConductor
Antoine GuerberAbout
The distinctive sound of the ensemble Diabolus in Musica was revealed in 1998, with a first recording entitled
'Vox Sonora' and devoted to conductus of the Notre Dame School. Now 'Paris Expers Paris' presents a completely different facet of this magnificent repertoire. The programme centres on the impressive Christmas response Descendit de Caelis, alternating long polyphonic melismas, probably by Pérotin, and Gregorian melodies enriched with solo prose sections. The other pieces illustrate the possibilities that were being explored by the composers of the Notre Dame School in the thirteenth century: from 1 to 4 parallel voices, Pérotin being the first composer to write in 4 parts.
