Mena/Inaki - Cueurs Desolez

Alberdi and Mena, the two musicians aimed to extend the timespan of their repertoire by confronting the music of Josquin Desprez � the great Franco-Flemish composer who bridged the transition from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance � with music by four Spanish composers of our time. They asked Jes�s Torres, Jos� Mar�a S�nchez-Verd�, Joan Magran� and Gabriel Erkoreka to write four pieces inspired by Desprez� motets and chansons. We come to the end of the itinerary of musical proposals on this CD with one of Johann Sebastian Bach�s most fascinating creations, the Chaconne from his Partita for solo violin, BWV 1004. This extremely well-known piece is featured here in a special version: a recomposition based on the musicological research of Helga Thoene, who demonstrated that the entire Chaconne is exclusively based on several Lutheran chorales.
