With “Or escoutez la chanson…” , the Compagnie Outre-Mesure wishes to honour the collections of the most beautiful and excellent songs, taken from French authors and poets, collected by Jehan Chardavoine between 1576 and 1588.
We find there, Mellin de Saint Gelais, Pierre de Ronsard, Claude de Pontoux, Philippe Desportes, all set to music by various authors of the sixteenth century but also contemporaries (Pascale Boquet and Marc Busnel). In the form of a vocal quartet, with the company Outre-Mesure, it is an invitation to travel where the lyrics of the songs, interpreted in French restored, take everyone towards the great poetry, the burlesque, the grave, the light.
