Music played an essential role in medieval and early modern death rituals. From the agony to the last rites over the grave, chants and polyphony were woven together in deeply symbolical ways. Bastarda’s Ars Moriendi is a transfiguration of this ancient musical ritual: Paweł Szamburski, Tomasz Pokrzywiński, and Michał Górczyński reinterpreted centuries-old music for the dead, fragmenting the chants and disrupting the counterpoint of early polyphony. What is left, is a modern meditation on death and its paradoxes. Bastarda’s Ars moriendi does not teach. It is a journey through the emotions of the human being, suspended between desperation and hope. After the rite, those who are left ask themselves ‘Who will give our eyes a fountain of tears?’ (Quis dabit oculis nostris fontem lacrimarum), remembering what is lost. Mourning marks the end, but Bastarda’s interpretation points also at a new beginning of peace and, finally, silence. BASTARDA plays the medieval music in a specific ritual order: 1. Commendatio animae: Vita in ligno moritur // Letaniae mortuorum discordantes // Ave regina caelorum (G. du Fay) // Litaniae 2. Processio et oficium defunctorum: Miserere mei Deus (J. Desprez) // Lectio: Parce mihi Domine (C. de Morales) 3. Missa defunctorum: Introitus: Requiem aeternam // Sequentia: Dies irae dies illa 4. Absolutio ad tumulum: Responsorium: Libera me Domine de morte aeterna (C. Festa) // Quis dabit oculis nostris fontem lacrimarum (C. Festa) BASTARDA Paweł Szamburski - clarinet Tomasz Pokrzywiński - cello Michał Górczyński - contrabass clarinet 01. BASTARDA - Vita in ligno moritur (4:46) 02.
