MEDIAEVAL IMAGERY
On a
screen placed on the stage, photographs illustrating the pieces being
played are shown. The aim is not merely to offer a recital of music but
also to give life to a cultural heritage a illuminations, manuscripts,
sculptures, buildings with their revolutionary architectures
(cathedrals, cloisters, villages, castles...) that bear witness of the
vivacity of the mediaeval spirit.

WHERE MUSIC from the EAST and from the WEST MEET
Music at
the Court of the King of Castile. When Tariq and his arabic and
berberian horsemen set foot on the Iberian Peninsula, no one could have
guessed that a new kingdom was born that was to enlighten the Western
Mediaeval world for five centuries.
A new culture took shape, enriched by the
convergence of three traditions, the Muslim, the Jewish and the
Christian. Just like architecture music was influenced as far as its
form and the musical instruments used were concerned. Thus the "oud"
was to become the lute, the "rebab" was to become the rebec, the
"gaïta" the pipe and subsequently the bagpipe, the "tar" the
tambour de basque, the "santour" the cymbalom and the qanoun the
psaltery...
