FESTIVAL DE LANVELLEC ET DU TRÉGOR - France

L’association Rencontres internationales de musique ancienne en Trégor (RIMAT) was created in 1986, to support an artistic and cultural project based on an exceptional heritage: the presence in the church of Lanvellec (Côtes d'Armor), a village of 550 inhabitants, of an organ unique in the world. The Lanvellec Festival was born from the desire to make the organ of Robert Dallam (1653) in Lanvellec sound and be valued. The first edition took place in 1986 and is now a major meeting point for baroque music, welcoming musicians and ensembles of international renown. 

CHANSON NOUVELLE 

800 years ago, in 1220, Francis of Assisi stepped down from leading the order he had founded, shedding the trappings of power to draw closer to a nature he loved as divine creation… Who knows if he was a musician, but he inspired this new popular song in the Umbrian language, which flourished throughout the century around Assisi and Cortona.

At the same time, in the west of England’s Midlands, Worcester Cathedral established itself as a liturgical center with influence across the kingdom.

The English, unconcerned with the unnecessary distinctions between learned and popular music found in France, provided inspiration for composer Gavin Bryars (best known for his minimalist works) to create a kind of mirrored reflection of these two traditions. He drew both from the refinement of medieval English music up to John Dunstable and the simplicity of the Cortona Laudario.
