Ensemble Temenos presents a programme centred on Tarquinio Merula’s sacred concertos and instrumental works, with soprano Capucine Keller and an organ continuo. Merula’s music moves between contrapuntal clarity and bold expressive gestures, exploiting chromatic daring, harmonic tension and contrasting textures. The programme juxtaposes intimate vocal lines, one- or two-part instrumental writing and organ pieces, creating a narrative momentum that feels both contemplative and dramatic. Lighting of sound and silence shapes a meditative, nocturnal atmosphere.
