Discovering what makes this music work requires study but also experimentation. Often all that remains of this magnificent counterpoint and subtle harmony is a few staves of manuscript paper, a text, and the odd clue left by contemporary sources: it is up to us collectively to imagine a sound, a direction, an instrumentation, so as to give this music its expressive contours and its rightful place in the French repertory. Far from the noise and high speed of the world of today, such music is an oasis of poetry and beauty.
