Capella Mariana & L'homme armé

ABOUT THE CONCERT

The melody L'homme armé ("The Armed Man") became one of the most influential musical ideas of the fifteenth century, inspiring composers across Europe for generations. Cappella Mariana traces its remarkable journey through music by Guillaume Dufay and his contemporaries, revealing how a single tune shaped sacred and secular works alike. Under the artistic direction of Vojtěch Semerád, the ensemble offers fresh insight into a repertoire whose echoes still resonate across European cultural history.
