Mitten im Leben Musik der Reformation by , Van (2023/2023), Dirigent Martin Ripper, Theater Wittenberge, Wittenberge, Duitsland

Josquin – distant and abstract? How do you bring such a master into today? By examining everyday life from back then! In addition to his "secular" chansons, we also know the many songs of his time that deal with people's everyday worries and needs. The concert will be a journey back in time to the 16th century, on which we encounter lustful joy and exuberant happiness as well as endless misery and painful misery. The obvious parallels to today – just think of the forbidden infidelity or the increased attractiveness of some men through wealth – make us smile, while statements on topics such as nature and homeland, to which we have a different relationship in our modern mobile society, make us smile , make you think. The sung universal sensations make us forget the great span of time and lead us right into the life of 1521 as well as our own. The lautten compagney, one of the leading ensembles for early music, creates a living painting of the early 16th century with a great deal of joy in making music and sparkling creativity. In addition to original compositions, a number of lively arrangements have also been created that make the 16th century 'swing'!
