Natalis Cordat (ca1610-1663), was a country vicar who wrote very refined and aristocratic 'noëls' whilst Nicolas Saboly (1614-1678), the caustic master of an Avignon Chapel, was a writer of small pieces in a popular vein. The Camera delle Lacrime approaches these noëls in a most delightful way.They perfectly catch the historical context of these works, which originate in medieval mystery plays, and which were very popular in the 16th and 17th centuries. Such a performance is the trademark of this ensemble. None of Natalis Cordat's noëls has ever been recorded before.
Cordat:
O monde, que tu es heureux
Mortels, assamblez tous vos voix
Aquò's pro durmit, mainada
Soleil, de toutes parts
Sus chrestiens, préparons nous
Dandrieu:
Adam fut un pauvre homme
Pezant:
Coratge, moainada
Saboly:
Ben urosa la naissença
Orgulhós, plen de maganha
Tu que cerques tei delices
Li a quauqua ren que m'a fat paur
Adam e sa companha
Li a pron de gens
Aquel ange qu'es vengut
Sant Jousè m'a dit
