  • Description

    In the French Baroque period, a tombeau refers to a piece of music in memory of a more or less beloved person, but sometimes also of a parrot or canary even!

    This does not mean, however, that the pieces must necessarily be sad, sombre music; the genre is also varied by the fact that a Tombeau can actually take on any type of movement - mourning takes place in major and minor, fast or slow.



    Michael Ducker, lutenist, music researcher, editor and spiritus rector of the ensemble nuovo aspetto, reveals to us here in exemplary fashion the sheer inexhaustible inventiveness and originality with which composers in the Baroque period could mourn.
