For more than a millennium, French song has been transmitted from generation to generation. Transformed and reworked since their birth, these songs, known to all, are often masterpieces of melodic writing, halfway between the popular and the learned. For two centuries, they have become the basis of a repertoire called childhood songs. Having thus crossed the centuries to reach us, they are today a major part of our cultural heritage.
The Poème Harmonique, united again to the chamber choir of Rouen offers a dive into this fascinating repertoire.
