Dueil angoisseux - (poem: Christine de Pizan, music: Gilles Binchois)

Christine de Pizan's breathtaking lament upon the loss of her husband in 1390 is one of the most haunting and beautiful works of late medieval poetry. Alone, and suddenly responsible for the support and care of her three children and her mother, Christine established herself as one of the great writers of her era and among the first professional female writers in Europe. The poem explores her grief at having to live each day without her beloved husband, in which she exclaims "I can neither heal, nor die."

Our sincere thanks goes out to Matthieu Pinette and Christian Degrigny for allowing us to film and record in the beautiful palace and grounds of the Chateau de Germolles, the best preserved princely residence of the dukes of Burgundy. At the beginning of the 15th century, Philip the Bold, seigneur of Germolles, commissioned a biography of his father from Christine, and it is quite possible that she visited the palace during this time. The American medieval and renaissance ensemble Asteria (Sylvia Rhyne, soprano, and Eric Redlinger, lute and tenor) is known for their intimate and sumptuous performance style and the emotional immediacy of their interpretations of French medieval and renaissance music. http://asteriamusica.com
