Poet, friend of Petrarch, and ecclesiastic, Philippe de Vitry was also one of the leading figures of the Ars Nova, a movement that brought polyphonic and poetic refinement to its peak. This album, the debut recording of Ensemble Arborescence, is the result of extensive research by David Chappuis, following a meticulous study of the sources. It seeks to place the singers in the performance conditions of the 14th century, including historically informed Latin pronunciation. Recorded at Royaumont, the programme weaves together motets by Philippe de Vitry—from early works to those of his maturity—with interludes composed by David Chappuis on Vitry’s own poetry. This carefully crafted perspective invites us to rediscover the work of one of the most fascinating musical figures of the Middle Ages.
