For many years, the Chamber Choir 'Les Cris de Paris', renowned for its commitment to contemporary<br />

creation, has had the habit of ending its shows with an 'Encore'. Specially written by the arranger of the band,<br />

and derived from songs outwith the world of classical music, a bold <strong>new</strong> repertoire has been built from<br />

Madonna, Zappa, Björk, Kylie Minogue and Spears (Britney…) but also Brel and Gainsbourg…<br />

To celebrate its 10th birthday with a wink, Alpha has supported this special venture that scrambles the<br />

boundaries and the brains. The pure pleasure of music making is to be found here, exclusively realised by the<br />

singers, including all the instrumental and percussion effects, with a technical level of virtuosity from each of<br />

the singers; and finally a quality and the creativity in the arrangements which brings <strong>new</strong> life to the original<br />

pop songs.<br />

Special project means special packaging. The Encores album has little in common with their usual collections,<br />

and so ALPHA in festive anniversary mood have given it a distinctive identity with a tactile circular metal box.<br />

NORMAL PRICE CD<br />

"The work of Guillaume de Machaut dominates the French 14th<br />

Century. It was bequeathed to us thanks to 6 illuminated<br />

manuscripts kept in the French National Library in Paris. Those<br />

manuscripts assemble the full poetical and musical works of the<br />

composer, structured as a very precisely organised entity. The<br />

musical part is composed of motets, virelais, ballads, lais, rondeaux<br />

and the famous Messe de Notre Dame.<br />

Thanks to the research of 20th century musicologists, we can now<br />

assess the full importance of this work enabling performers to read his music directly from manuscript sources<br />

and make us more and more familiar with this ancient media. This proximity with Guillaume de Machaut is<br />

an essential component of our work as a polyphonic ensemble. In this <strong>new</strong> recording devoted to the canon<br />

of Reims, we invite you to follow our poet-musician in the fantastic and experimental world of his ballads."<br />
