GRANDS CONCERTS: LE POÈME HARMONIQUE / MISERERE

The 17th-century Italian baroque music reveals an intimate connection between human experience and the sacred, showing that our sensitivity and everyday life can provide space for a deep reflection. Works by Allegri, Monteverdi, Marazzoli and Rossi combine simplicity, tension, and subtlety in a way that does not impose interpretation, but leaves enough space for personal contemplation. Allegri’s Miserere captivates with the harmonic clarity and peacefulness, in which the silence and the breath become part of the musical expression. Monteverdi and Rossi show how melody and counterpoint tell stories that are both dramatic and intimate at the same time, evoking a sense of the sacred present in the ordinary. Marazzoli introduces the pulse of life, emotional rhythm, and subtle dramatic tension, giving the music freshness and immediacy. Le Poème Harmonique draws from these works their essence: truth, emotional depth, and psychological subtlety, demonstrating that in the baroque era, spiritual experience was inseparable from feeling, and that each note offered a moment for reflection on fragility, transience, and the fleeting beauty of life. In this programme, the audience can discover their own space between silence and sound, between everyday experience and the intangible transcendence.
