The La Jolla Renaissance Singers presents a program of French chansons by Claudin de Sermisy, Roland de Lassus, Guillaume Costeley, Pierre Certon, Claude Lejeune and Clement Janequin, including Janequin's spectacular evocation of the Parisian marketplace, "Les cris de Paris" (The Street Cries of Paris). These chansons explore all sides of love, from the joyous to the tragic, from the passionate to the raunchy, from the soulful to the silly.
In addition, the group will perform a 1999 work by Jason Rosenberg entitled "Carnival," which like Janequin's music uses vocal effects to replicate the sounds of public space.
