Ensemble Le Bois Chantant – Renaissance Reloaded 

Students and former students of the Berlin University of the Arts
Concept and artistic direction: Ariane Jeßulat

Polyphonic improvisation of the Renaissance – what happens when we transform early music into new improvisations? When we continue to improvise the unfinished, when we send our feelings and moods on a journey through time?

The Ensemble Le Bois Chantant are students and former students of the Berlin University of the Arts who improvise on compositions from the Middle Ages to the early Baroque, expanding, changing and painting over them with new ideas. Following old techniques of super librum cantare, singing over the book, simple melodies become polyphonic, small melodic moments become polyphonic meditations, but also chases in canon, battles and miniature theatre pieces. Improvising and experimenting, we trace what has not been handed down in the notes, but could have been ‘between the lines’.
