Alla Francesca

Alla Francesca

Alla Francesca has been played on NTS in shows including Body Motion, featured first on 5 May 2017. Songs played include Hui Matin A L'Ajournee and Anonyme: Lai du Chèvrefeuille.

Alla Francesca is a French early-music ensemble

The group has three core members: Pierre Hamon (director and historical wind instruments), Brigitte Lesne (singer and harpist); and Emmanuel Bonnardot (singer and violinist). They met earlier in their careers, and worked closely with Dominique Vellard in the Ensemble Gilles Binchois; the parent group was and remains headquartered at the Centre for Mediaeval Music at the University of Paris, and produces performances in close communication with musicologists. Likewise, Alla Francesca retains close ties to the Centre for Mediaeval Music; all three of the core members teach there, and they create their musical programmes in accordance with the research that they and other European professional musicologists bring to the repertoire. The group tends to perform music directly from the historical notation of early manuscript sources. Performances have included music from twelfth century troubadour lyrics (on Richard Coeur-de-Lion) to fifteenth-century European music.
