In Renaissance times, the heart was thought to be home to our memory. Giving something back to the heart—re-cor-dare—therefore meant to remember a beloved person, to mourn their death, or to honor them while they lived. Michele Pasotti and his ensemble La fonte musica, regular guests at the Pierre Boulez Saal, present a selection of moving musical tributes from the 14th to the 16th centuries, in which composers honored their predecessors or colleagues—including Jean Richafort’s Requiem for Josquin, who himself created a musical memento for Johannes Ockeghem in his Nymphes des bois.
