Musique de Joye, joyous songs and dances from 16th century France will be performed by the Chicago Early Music Consort at 12:15 p. m. Tuesday, September 7 in the Performing Arts Center at Harper College. The group will offer a sample of what was considered “pop” music in Renaissance France during the long reign of Francis I, a great patron of the arts. French composers developed a unique song form, or chanson, that was nationalistic in both poetry and music. Advances in 16th century printing techniques made the (then) new French songs and dances accessible for the first time to ordinary people throughout Europe. Early music is from the mid-18th century and before and includes the Baroque, Renaissance and Middle Ages, the dividing line being 1750, the year of the death of Johann Sebastian Bach. The Chicago Music Consort performs on period instruments in Chicago and throughout the Midwest, including live performances on Chicago’s fine arts station, 98.7WFMT. Members of the group include Gary Berkenstock, recorder, crumhorn, racket and dulcian; Ken Perlow, viols and crumhorn; Phillip W. Serna, on viola de gamba/vielle; Stephanie Sheffield, soprano; and Russell Wagner, viols and crumhorn. The Chicago Early Music Concert is free, and everyone is welcome.
