Album Notes
On this disc the Clément Janequin Ensemble, named after the composer best known for his amusing and energetic chansons depicting naturalistic scenes (such as battles and bird calls), documents the musical world of Protestant France in the sixteenth century, a world somewhat overshadowed by secular, humanistic-inspired concurrent musical developments: the "musique mesurée" in France, where poetic meter and musical rhythms are defined in terms of long and short syllables rather than accented/unaccented; and the Italian madrigalists' use of chromaticism, elaborate virtuosic figurations, and other descriptive techniques in the service of capturing textual affects.
Yet this sacred music, created for domestic devotions outside liturgical services, and distinguished by either its use of liturgical Huguenot psalm melodies or spiritual texts, is otherwise quite similar in its styles to those characterizing secular works, mentioned above, because most of the pieces presented are instances of "contrafacta", in which the music from other, usually secular works, is modified and adopted to fit new sacred texts.
Music educators will find two tracks welcome as instructional tools: the opening work presents a monophonic Psalm first in its entirety and then in a polyphonic elaboration by Paschal de l'Estocart; and a similar procedure will be found in Nicolas Vallet's variations for solo lute on the melody to "Onse Vader ins Hemelryck."
