Wind quintet & Viviane de Farias

Concert in a warm summer night in Pfalz , Germany in 2007.
It was a joy to sing wonderful music from franco-flemish composer of the Renaissance, Josquin Desprez, among others, with incredible colleagues from the state opera in Karlsruhe.
Nymphes nappés was arranged for wind-quintet and female jazz voice by Martin Nitschmann who is killing at the clarinet.
Special thanks to Martin Müller for holding the camera and to H. Gölzenleuchter, trombone M. Drescher, bassoon D. Peppel, flute N. Arai, oboe
for their great artistry!

"Nymphes Nappés"
...Que mes esprits sont plus morts que malades
Venez plorez, venez plorez ma desolation...

Probably the most important composer before the second half of the 16th century, Josquin is especially noted for the expressive nature of his music, a trait that broke with the medieval tradition of more abstract music.
His artistic abilities were compared to those of Michelangelo, and Martin Luther is quoted: "Josquin is master of the notes, which must express what he desires; other choral composers must do what the notes dictate."
