Music for a while (Musique de l'instant présent)

Music for a while - Musique de l'instant présent : linking what is no longer and what is just beginning, in a fleeting present.

The three musicians of Trio 2M have designed this programme like a stained-glass mosaic.
Memory predominates in this journey through time, which brings together short pieces from different horizons. It is structured around Henry Purcell's 3 Fantasias for 3 viols, whose contrapuntal research leads us into a harmonic labyrinth of great daring. Purcell wrote for viol as a tribute to this instrument, which at that time in history had lost its reputation to the modernised string instruments.
The pieces chosen from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, on the other hand, look back to the past, sometimes through writing techniques, sometimes through thematic choices, or even as tributes to departed loved ones.
Moving from baroque to modern instruments, the musicians take pleasure in touching the moment, bringing together the memories of yesterday and tomorrow.
