Les Kapsber'girls

In this last part of the trilogy dedicated to repertoires of popular origins brought up to date throughout Europe at the beginning of the 17th century, Les Kapsber'girls offer a dive into the end of the Spanish Golden Age by focusing on one of the most important genres of this period: the Tonos Humanos.

As opposed to Tonos Divinos, the term Tonos Humanos brings together the vernacular Stophic songs appropriated by Spanish composers of the time, such as Les Villanelles in Italy and Les Brunettes in France.

Thus, the quartet honors, in this program with the shimmering colors of a still incandescent Spain, the leading composers who shaped the Iberian musical repertoire: Juan Arañés (…-1649), José Marin (1619-1699) , Mateo Romero (1575-1647).

With the taste for sound textures that characterizes them, Les Kapsber'girls invite two additional instruments to join them: the harp and the percussion, thus offering themselves the opportunity to enrich their palette of colors!
Instrumental music is not to be outdone among composers - we note in particular among the most famous Gaspar Sanz (ca 1640 -1710) and Diego Fernandez De Huete (1635-1713) - who are then inspired by fashionable songs or popular dances to leave in their wake quantities of airs for guitar and harp, two emblematic instruments of Spanish baroque music!
