Thierry Escaich: Tombeau pour Aliénor (Cantata set to a poem by Olivier Py)

Patricia Petibon, Soprano
Ensemble Amarillis
Héloïse Gaillard, Artistic Director

Héloïse Gaillard and Patricia Petibon, close friends since their time together at the Académie d'Ambronay, recount through music the intertwined fates of three emblematic queens. The Roman empress, Agrippina the Younger, is sensitively portrayed by Handel in his cantata Agrippina condotta a morire. Mary, Queen of England, inspired Purcell to write some of his most beautiful melodies. Finally, the fate of Eleanor of Aquitaine was set to music by Thierry Escaich in a poem by Olivier Py, a work co-presented by the Ambronay JRC. A truly royal programme!
