Musical wanderings and sets of Franco-Music 15th century Burgundians
As part of the opening of the exhibition celebrating the 6th centenary of the birth of Louis XI, the Banquet du Roy will be at the royal castle of Amboise with an original program in the afternoon: musical wanderings and sets of Franco-Music 15th century Burgundians.
The Banquet du Roy presents a program highlighting musical activity in the time of Louis XI. Influenced by the powerful and rival ducal court of Burgundy, the royal court of France, although marked by the political instability caused, among other things, by the Hundred Years’ War, will retain a constant number of singers and musicians mainly from the Franco-Flemish regions. . The loyal composer Johannes Ockeghem, born in Mons in Burgundy, is its emblematic figure, remaining in the service of the kings of France from 1452 until his death in 1497. Like the Order of Saint-Michel inspired by that of the Golden Fleece, Le Banquet du Roy offers a musical immersion by playing on the influence of the court of Philippe le Bon and Charles le Téméraire on that of Louis XI, before the latter delivers the coup de grace to the Burgundian dream!
