Musique vocale sacrée de la Renaissance.

Dévotion mariale post tridentine à la Chapelle Sixtine.
Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina est un compagnon de route de longue date des Voix Animées. L’Ensemble poursuit sa découverte de l’œuvre monumentale en interprétant la messe à 6 voix « De Beata Virgine », messe construite sur la mélodie grégorienne célébrant la Vierge Marie. 

Missa « De Beata Virgine » de Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina
Motets de Tomás Luis de Victoria. 

Two short films by and with Charles Chaplin accompanied by 4 voices at the foot of the screen.

Les Voix Animées illustrate and ornament two short burlesque films by Chaplin in a quartet using melodies, refrains, onomatopoeias and vocal sound effects. More than just a musical accompaniment, the challenge of this show is to have two forms of creation coexist simultaneously and to present the movies of course but also the architects of their « soundtrack » performed live. This show, where the sound-effect singers and the unforgettable Charlot take turns in front of the stage, brings music and movies together in a ballet of shadows and lights.

Music by Bach, Brahms, Verdi, Chaplin, Scott Joplin, Les Frères Jacques...
