Trailer | Sex, Drugs, & Madrigals | Les Canards Chantants

Sex, Drugs, & Madrigals A wild and theatrical ride through the extremes of style, drama, humor and emotion in the late Italian madrigal. Featuring music by Willaert, Marenzio, Aleotti, Gabrieli, Palestrina, Banchieri, Croce, d’India, Schütz, Gesualdo, Valentini, and of course, Monteverdi. The phrase “sex, drugs, and rock and roll” may have been coined to refer to what was seen as the corruption of youth culture in the 1960s and 70s, but this hedonistic trinity has tempted the morally susceptible among us for centuries, and the twentieth-century catchphrase is really just a modernization of the long-acknowledged trio “wine, women, and song”. In its time, the renaissance madrigal was the primary musical agent of depravity. As a concerned Venetian citizen wrote in 1589: “Often the ears of youths are delighted by music which softens the heart to every lasciviousness, ruins good behavior, dispels honesty, inflames the soul with burning love, and stimulates the mind to carnal desire.” The power of music indeed!
