Suite of 5 songs by Lucien Jean-Baptiste.
Western composition favored the vertical music conception. During rather four centuries, musical creation was dominated by major and minor tonal richness and by harmonic chords and cadenzas. Modal style and counterpoint were left as an ancient memory of the linear conception.These five musical and philosophical propositions are no pastiche of ancient music nor school exercising. There have three targets: to feel the modal’s charm, to enjoy the devices of a simple polyphony with two voices but also to enjoy the fine details of these combinatorial musical lines. The talent of the writer-philosopher Montaigne (1533-1592), a contemporary of these two musical genres, could only serve this project admirably, as the aphorisms selected from the Essays lend themselves to several levels of understanding.
