A la mort de Louis XIV, la vie culturelle renait sur Paris. Les Nobles et plus tard les Bourgeois vont développer la mode des Salons et des Cafés dans lesquels on «s'encanaillait» en jouant, chantant et dansant. Mais c'est aussi dans ces lieux que vont naître les idées libérales. On y entendait aussi bien, chansons galantes, bacchiques, vaudevilles que cantates. On y dansait autant contredanses que menuets et, on y lançait la mode de nouveaux instruments. Le répertoire populaire y côtoyait les oeuvres de compositeurs de Cour. C'est toute cette atmosphère de Salon que l'ensemble musical "Les Enfans de Cythère" recrée de nos jours dans leurs concerts. costumes : "Atelier des Loges" Château de Breteuil, Vallée de la Chevreuse (Ile de France) En savoir plus sur les Salons After the death of Louis XIV, Paris experienced a revival of its cultural life. The nobles and later the middle class developed the fashion for salons ans for cafés, where they "slummed", playing, singing and dancing. But it is also in these places that liberal ideas were to be born.On could hear amorous songs, drinking songs and popular airs as well as cantatas. Contredanses were performed as well as the minuet, and new instruments became fashionable. The popular repertory was performed together with works by composers of the Court. It is this whole atmosphere of the salon that the musical ensemble Les Enfans de Cythère recreates in its concerts today. |
