Share this magical, musical final evening at Beaulieu-en-Rouergue Abbey! Presentation
Immerse yourself in a spellbinding journey where the masters of musical Impressionism - Fauré, Boulanger, Saint-Saëns and Debussy - capture the spirit of painters through their compositions. These composers explore the fleeting nuances of light and atmosphere, creating soundscapes that evoke the vibrant paintings of the period. In pieces such as Fauré's 'Les Djinns', where the music washes over our souls like a wave, or Lili Boulanger's 'Sous bois', where a subtle dialogue unfolds between the crystalline piano and the choir's light, sweeping lines, each note is a colour on the composer's palette.
At the heart of this experience lies a masterly and unique fusion of melody, poetic text and voice. Each word, each note finds a deep resonance, offering a sensory immersion where emotion and meaning mingle in exquisite harmony. These musical poems are undeniably nuggets of twentieth-century French choral music.
Embark with us on this spellbinding journey where music and poetry merge into a unique sensory experience, where every note and word resonates in the soul, inviting you to discover the richness and beauty of French musical impressionism.
