Product Description
Thirteenth-century berber, sephardic and Spanish music, Paz, Salam & Shalom journeys through music at the crossroads of the Middle Ages, intersecting Jewish, Christian and Islamic influences.
A journey through time, in a region where arab, sephardic and Spanish communities live side by side and attempt to create an equilibrium in spite of their differences. Here is music at the crossroads of cultures and artistic expressions… Music which, after 800 years of sharing and exchange, is still astonishingly alive with an exaltant energy, bearing witness to diversity, respect and tolerance.
Emmanuel Bardon’s booklet note says that Canticum Novum had no difficulty in choosing the Sephardic repertoire, the repertory of the Muslim tradition and Alfonso El Sabio’s Cantigas de Santa Maria. Touching the heartbeat, the lost harmony, of a constantly evolving humanity, Emmanuel Bardon and Canticum Novum, founded in 1996, conjure a revitalising experience, the "perfect union between earth and heaven".
