The duo builds on decades of performances worldwide by Susie Napper and Margaret Little who\u2019s musical complicity was compared to the skill of a pair of trapeze artists or the telepathic communion of jazz artists. Their many prizes and recordings are the foundation on which the new duo will build a creative repertoire and innovative style to inspire a new generation of music-lovers.<\/p>

Les Voix humaines Viol Consort<\/h4>

Susie Napper, M\u00e9lisande Corriveau, Felix Deak, Jessy Dub\u00e9<\/h5>

In 2021 Les Voix humaines (Susie Napper<\/strong><\/a> and M\u00e9lisande Corriveau<\/a><\/strong> and Felix Deak<\/a><\/strong>) was joined by Jessy Dub\u00e9<\/strong><\/a> to take a refreshing look at the huge repertoire for multiple viols. Our unique, controversial ideas offer a new profile to consort playing in which rhythmic freedom and ornamentation play an integral role.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

As well as the grand English consort repertoire, Bach\u2019s Art of Fugue and the Purcell Fantasias, the Consort performs lesser known discoveries by Cima, Trabaci, Lupo, Moulinier and Charpentier to which we bring years of experience and experimentation as viol, recorder, fiddle and bass violinists!<\/p>

The consort has toured in Canada, USA, Mexico, France, Poland, Scandinavia and the Baltic States and recorded Bach\u2019s Art of Fugue, Purcell\u2019s Fantasias, Dowland\u2019s Lachrimae as well as their own, unusual arrangement or Vivaldi\u2019s Quattro Stagioni for equal viols: 4 Seasons, 4 Viols.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
