What’s in a Name?

Wilbye – Morley – Schumann – Traditionnel – The Beatles – The Beach Boys…

Whether they remind us beautiful memories or bitter insults, names all bear a story. So many eternal faces studied by Perspectives in this programme. The Lamento d’Arianna (Monteverdi), The Adieu to Amaryllis (Wilbye), the undying love for Michelle (The Beatles) or Rosanna (Toto) or even Sylvia’s ode (Schubert)… Names have always inspired poets and musicians. To say a name is expressing a feeling. What characters hide behind these names? To what pictures do they send us back? How do they resonate in us?
