The ancient texts express the musical realities of yesteryear in terms that are not familiar to us. We must learn the musical language of men of the past, but also their global way of expressing
themselves, their imagination, their daily lives and to represent how they themselves were in a process of memory. It’s not just about taking a score and playing it, but also about understanding the world that this music refers to.”
Marcel Pérès
The different music styles should be perceived as so many sound icons, vibrating entities that invite the listener to immerse himself in an emotional experience of which words and sounds are only the sign. Thus was born in 2011 the motto of Ensemble Organum: To explore the driving forces of our intangible heritage.
Besides a historical and technical approach to the music of the past, the practice of forgotten repertories reveals to us the metaphysical function of music. The architecture of sound is the sign of a relationship between man and his own destiny. At this point we surpass the social and even cultural dimension of musical art, as maan is challenged by the image of his supernatural destiny.
