VOCES8
Overview
Intro
The Art of Expression
The beautiful definition of expression is to make visible, through a sign of any kind, what remains hidden. It is through their voices that the eight musicians of the British ensemble VOCES8 have chosen to express themselves. The sign is the sound - a sound of admirable purity, in which each musician abandons a part of his or her ego to melt into the collective accord. The secret lies in the emotions that lurk in the silence of the scores, and which the performers bring back to the world through their actions.The program of this tour de chant, of subtle delicacy, sees pieces from the polyphonic Renaissance - sacred motets, secular madrigals - in dialogue with contemporary creations. The languages change, of course. But the essential is always there: emotion, sound. An eulogy of sensitivity.
