Brighton Early Music Festival: The English Style in Medieval France
From the Brighton Early Music Festival, the Sollazzo Ensemble bring their vivid style of performance to a range of 15th-century music inspired by English composers.
This year's Brighton Early Music Festival opens with a fascinating example of an English cultural export in the 15th century: the so-called 'contenance angloise' (English style). This new musical fashion took Europe by storm, revolutionising compositional techniques and taste with its rich harmonies. Initiated by John Dunstaple and Walter Frye, the English style was adopted by Franco-Flemish composers such as Dufay and Binchois and introduced to the Burgundian Court, the epicentre of musical innovation at that time.
The music is performed by the Sollazzo Ensemble, winners of the 2015 York Early Music Competition.
Recorded at St George's Church, Brighton
Presented by Ian Skelly
