A musical journey to the heart of ancient Egypt
Where can we still hear the breath of the great texts of ancient Egypt

hymns to the divinities, elegiac love poems, canticles celebrating
the profusion and the intangible links of the man to the nature,
serene questionings on the beyond of life ?

Conference - Tasting of CORSES POLYPHONIES
Sacred Corsican Polyphonies in the Feminine
By Nadine Rossello, of the Madamicella Ensemble
Corsican polyphony, a very singular oral transmission repertoire, changes the usual codes of positioning (closed semicircle), accountability (one per voice) and exchanges (no direction) within the group. It opens to a form of interpretation very incarnated which leaves a real space of freedom (tempis) and improvisation (ornaments) to the singers.
