Baroque Christmas in Occitania

Works by Natalis Cordat & Nicolas Saboly


Cordat:

O monde, que tu es heureux

Mortels, assamblez tous vos voix

Aquò’s pro durmit, mainada

Soleil, de toutes parts

Sus chrestiens, préparons nous

Dandrieu:

Adam fut un pauvre homme

Pezant:

Coratge, moainada

Saboly:

Ben urosa la naissença

Orgulhós, plen de maganha

Tu que cerques tei delices

Li a quauqua ren que m’a fat paur

Adam e sa companha

Li a pron de gens

Aquel ange qu’es vengut

Sant Jousè m'a dit


La Camera delle Lacrime, Bruno Bonhoure

Natalis Cordat (ca1610-1663), was a country vicar who wrote very refined and aristocratic 'noëls' whilst Nicolas Saboly (1614-1678), the caustic master of an Avignon Chapel, was a writer of small pieces in a popular vein. The Camera delle Lacrime approaches these noëls in a most delightful way.They perfectly catch the historical context of these works, which originate in medieval mystery plays, and which were very popular in the 16th and 17th centuries. Such a performance is the trademark of this ensemble. None of Natalis Cordat's noëls has ever been recorded before.
