Johannes Tinctoris
Johannes Tinctoris ranks as one of the most prominent music theorists of the 15th century. He wrote his most famous books in Naples. But did you know that he was also a gifted composer, with a particular fondness for the vielle and the rebec? ‘I love using them – for the secret comfort of the soul.’ Together with four singers, Le Miroir de Musique celebrates Tinctoris with music from the Mellon Chansonnier and the Cancionero de Segovia.

About the performers
Le Miroir de Musique, directed by Baptiste Romain, specializes in the music of the late Middle Ages and Renaissance, from the golden age of the troubadours to the humanist movements of the 16th century. Most of the ensemble’s musicians are graduates of the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. The name of the ensemble is borrowed from Jacques de Liège’s compendium Speculum Musicae (Mirror of Music), one of the most extensive works about music of the Middle Ages.
