The Great Journey

The Great Journey

DOWNLOAD Program – Les grandes traversées

Covering almost 10 million square kilometers, our immense country arose from a cultural intertwining of inestimable richness. Arriving by grandiose sailboats after a long voyage across the ocean, the new arrivals set foot ashore. In their luggage, they carried instruments, musical scores, and a style of playing from the old continent. France, England, Scotland and Ireland will take the lead in this concert as we explore the music of different cultural communities who came from Europe to settle in Canada. This concert also includes original arrangements by Guillaume Bouchard of well-known Québecois folk melodies.

O ROSA BELLA – AVAILABLE ONLINE FROM MARCH 20TH TO APRIL 3RD

Spanning three centuries (c.1400-c.1650), the Franco-Flemish school is a major musical movement divided into five or six generations, and represents a variety of stylistic differences. The exchanges of ideas, favored by increased travel throughout Europe and the invention of musical printing advanced musical theory and dissemination of composers’ works. The result is a melodic and harmonic symbiosis specific to Franco-Flemish polyphony.  In this concert, the theme of the rose serves as a common thread throughout the programme. In addition to celebrating the love between two beings, the rose also symbolizes the Virgin Mary.

With harpist Sara Lackie. 

Recorded on January 14th, 2021. Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours Chapel, Montreal, Qc

Flûte Alors! dedicates the first concert of the season to Johann Sebastian Bach. The

ensemble presents original arrangements of pieces you thought you knew backwards and

forwards! On the program: large-scale works such as the Orchestral Suite No. 2 in B minor

and Brandenburg Concerto No. 6, as well as more intimate works such as the Leipzig

chorales, originally written for a single organ. With this concert, the quartet continues its

exploration of Bach’s fascinating repertoire.
