“Without solitude, without the test of time, without the passion for silence, without the excitation and retention of the whole body, without a frightened stumbling, without wandering into a region of shade and invisibility, without memory of animality, without melancholy, without isolation in melancholy, there is no joy.”
Our musical journey follows this lyrical prose by writer Pascal Quignard. Hymns, chants, and anthems invoke awe in the brilliance of the stars and earth, inviting wonder and contemplation.
