Pictures by Koldo Chamorro. Translated by Marcia Hadjimarkos After musicological studies in Lyon, oboe and Renaissance reed instrument tuition in Paris and a recorder course in Geneva with Gabriel Garrido, Denis Raisin Dadre began his career as an orchestral and chamber music player with the flute trio I Dilletanti. He also appeared as a soloist with numerous baroque ensembles, and founded his own Renaissance group, Doulce Mémoire, in 1990. The ensemble is now based in the Loire Valley in central France, the very area where so many artistic activities flourished in the sixteenth century. The youthful singers and musicians of Doulce Mémoire, whose goal is to serve the vast musical heritage of the Renaissance, are dedicated to rediscovering the wide variety of sixteenth-century techniques. These are put to use in a plethora of musical forms ranging from unbuttoned farces such as La Dive Bouteille and La Roulotte du savetier Calbain to the funeral ceremonies of French kings (Requiem du Roi Henri IV), and also include carnival songs from the time of Lorenzo de’ Medici, Reformation psalms, Neapolitan festival music, and the Mass heard at the wedding of Henri IV and Maria de’ Medici. The ensemble quickly made a name for itself through its original and creative approach, and appears regularly in top early music venues in France and on the international scene. Denis Raisin Dadre and his musicians are passionate advocates of the works they interpret. Their artistic conviction shines through in their beautiful performances of both light-hearted, playful pieces and dark, pathetic works. Denis Raisin Dadre is a member of the early music Department at the National Conservatory of the Tours Region, where he also specialises in music of the Renaissance. Doulce Mémoire’s recordings, made exclusively on the Naïve label, have met with considerable critical success. Their discs and live performances alike invite the listener to plunge into the inspired music of the Renaissance and to celebrate its splendour, vitality and poetry along with them. It could even be said that the ensemble’s music making allows us to transcend space and time.
