"Polyphonies de Béarn et Gascogne"

The CD was recorded on All Saints' Day 2002, with the voices of Philippe Marchenay, Roland and André dit Dédé Poychicot, Cécile Rodier, Jean-Michel Anaya et Marie-Hélène Oustalé ;

with two wonderful sound engineers, Benoît Albert and Vincent Lemery ;
the careful listening by Hervé Bulteau and the guiding hands of Pascale Bulteau,
surrounded by the mosaics from a gallo-roman villa, in Taron (64), a place out of time;
with the imagination, drawing pencils and computer of Artifco ;

and with the backing of 330 subscribers,
some private firms,
Morlaàs town council ,
Pyrenees-Atlantiques County Council ,
and the Ostau Bearnais .

Ardalh

"Terres du Sud"

We took this recording more seriously than we did the first and you can hear that.

We still had Benoît on sound, helped along by Hervé, and the guiding hands and and ears wide open and the computer of Avant Scène.

This time we had two exceptional mucisians, Benoît Albert (the same one as before) and Christophe Geiller , on guitar and violin respectively, playing compositions by Thierry Rougier,

and the voices of Pascal Jouniaux, Roland and André Poychicot, Cécile Rodier, Jean-Michel Anaya et Marie-Hélène Oustalé,

in the same place as the frist time. It was All Saints' Day in 2005.

There are not very many photos this time, because we had less time and it was all very serious work.

We loved Jeanine and Françoise's cooking…

Again we were backed by our faithful subscribers, the same firms, the Ostau Biarnes, Morlaàs town council and Pyrenees-Atlantiques County Council.

"Tresau"

 

 

Ardalh a quartet, a journey way back to the fundamentals of polyphony

Becoming aware of the deepness, the tones, the echoes all due to the patience and encouragements of Genevieve Clement .

A big ‘thank you' to Alain Munoz for all his help and his sharp but delicate vision of the sense of the heritage given by our forefathers

We have found back our voices, but also the path of the History told to us which we hope to share with you with the same passion.

Thanks to all, the subscribers, the faithful, the companies, the “Ostau Bearnés”, the town hall of Morlaas and the ‘Conseil Général' of the Atlantic Pyrenees and to Gilbert Narioo of Per Noste.
