Programme
The power of war and war as a revolutionary form of peace
The human condition constantly swings between war and peace, civilisation and barbarism. And music has reflected this, paying homage to the powers it must submit to, or expressing the struggle for the return of peace in the face of conflict.
The programme presented by Jordi Savall is the soundtrack to war and peace. With motets such as Qui confidunt in Domino (They that Trust in the Lord) by Harant, pavanes and galliards to celebrate victory in battle. From Flanders to Catalonia, from 1618 to 1714, it portrays a bloody episode of European history whose most important legacy is its music.
