De Juer et de Baler / To Play and Dance

Delight in the playful and witty tunes of the medieval estampie, a dance form that flourished in the 13th and 14th centuries. Flutists Pierre Hamon and Norbert Rodenkirchen accompany this programme with original compositions and charming improvisations, performed on replicas of instruments from the Middle Ages.

The two flutists Pierre Hamon and Norbert Rodenkirchen have developed a duo program that traces the genre of the estampie, both dance-like and contemplative, from its earliest stages to the well-documented period of the 13th and 14th century. A program with new “up to date” transcriptions and reconstructions of medieval instrumental music, complemented by original compositions and improvisations of the two friends.
