Chants du diable, chants du peuple
Voyage en musique dans le Moyen Age
by John Haines
This book is an invitation to travel back in time, a journey through music in the Middle Ages. O faded songs! Songs of men and especially women in their daily work, in their healings, divinations and dances! Powerful female voices, bewitching voices connecting life to death! Starting from the din of modern times, the reader will discover a panoply of daily music that the ecclesiastical authorities formerly called “the songs of the devil.”
English Summary: This book is an invitation to travel back in time, a journey through music in the Middle Ages. O faded songs! Songs of men and especially women in their daily work, in their healings, divinations and dances! Powerful female voices, bewitching voices connecting life to death! Starting from the din of modern times, the reader will discover a panoply of daily music that the ecclesiastical authorities formerly called “the songs of the devil.” French Description: Ce livre est une invitation au voyage dans le temps, un voyage en musique dans le Moyen Age. Comme le chant medieval semble loin ! Ce voyage, forcement, il nous faut le commencer la ou nous sommes, assaillis par le vacarme des temps modernes. O chants evanouis ! Chants d’hommes et surtout de femmes dans leur besogne quotidienne, dans leurs guerisons, divinations et danses ! Voix feminines puissantes, voix envoutantes reliant la vie a la mort ! Chants retentissant pendant les siecles du Moyen Age, vous ne retentirez plus jamais ! Mais la trace de votre symphonie immense demeure avec nous, pale murmure, dans les harangues de l’homme contre les chants du diable. Ce livre est une invitation a voyager dans le temps, a entendre tous les chants du Moyen Age et non seulement ceux du grand homme. En partant du vacarme des temps modernes, le lecteur decouvrira une panoplie de musiques quotidiennes que les autorites ecclesiastiques nommaient jadis ” les chants du diable “.
