Sainte-Colombe: Les Pleurs - Savall, Coin.
M. de Sainte Colombe Tombeau les Regrets "Les Pleurs" In this recording: Jordi Savall, Bass Viol Christophe Coin, Bass Viol Tous Les Matins Du Monde (OST) Recorded in 1991 About the score: The score is a transposed version for harpsichord. I found it too tempting not to make the video. So I went for it. I worked with Marc D. (MehdiCaps) on the title slide. Idea and the design of it is his. I only made some slight editing on colors. Thanks a lot, my dear Marc, for your constant help :-* "Sainte-Colombe's music was only rediscovered in 1966, when a manuscript of his 67 Concerts a deux violes esgales was discovered in the library of the famed pianist Alfred Cortot. His music (and a fictionalized account of his relations with his more famous student Marin Marais) was brought to wide attention in Tous les matins du monde, a film that opened the ears of many to the glories of the viola da gamba. Sainte-Colombe's Tombeau les regrets is exemplary for its passionate and lyrical rhetoric. This extended work does not memorialize anyone in particular, but is rather a general meditation on loss. It includes vivid movements depicting the funeral bells (the carillon, or quarrillon), the call of Charon (the boatman of the Styx), the weeping (les pleurs) of those left behind, and finally the joys of the blessed souls in the Elysian Fields."
