Repertoire of the XIII and XIV centuries, French and Italian
Presentation
Since 2019, the Royaumont Foundation has been offering a training program dedicated to the teaching of medieval repertoire for students of the CRR of Ile-de-France.
During 6 days between January and June 2023, 10 trainees who are not specialists in medieval music will be introduced to the French and Italian secular and solo repertoire of the 13th and 14th centuries.
The baritone Marc Mauillon, a great specialist in this repertoire, will be in charge of this group. His recent recordings of Guillaume de Machaut have been very successful. After being a professor at Pôle Sup 93, he has been teaching medieval music practice at the University of Paris Sorbonne since 2018. In parallel to the musical training, a literary work of analysis of medieval poems will be proposed by Thibaut Mihelich (professor of modern literature).
Several visits in Ile-de-France of emblematic architectural places of the Middle Ages are also scheduled to put into perspective the arts of this period.
At the end of the training, a tour of the work is planned in the partner conservatories.

*2014 : concert Grands motets de Rameau/Mondonville with Les Arts Florissants. 2018: concert A due voci with Vivabiancaluna Biffi. 2019 Introduction to medieval music training
By the extent and the singularity of his repertoire, his recognizable tone and his chiseled diction, Marc Mauillon occupies a very personal place on the current opera scene. He works with the conductors W. Christie, M. Minkowski, R. Pichon, C. Rousset, J. Savall, V. Dumestre… and directors such as B. Lazar, I. Alexandre, R. Carsen… Recitals and chamber music have a special place in his career. Whether it is Machaut with Pierre Hamon, Vivabiancaluna Biffi and Angélique Mauillon, Poulenc/Eluard with Guillaume Coppola, these programs always strongly question the relationship between music, poetry and vocality. After having been a professor at Pôle Sup 93, Marc Mauillon has been teaching profane medieval music at the University of Paris-Sorbonne since September 2018 as part of the Master of Interpretation of Early Music (MIMA).
Thibaut Mihelich literary analysis
A former student of the École Normale Supérieure and the Paris Conservatory (CNSM) in musicology, Thibaut Mihelich is an associate professor of modern literature. He has taught in the United States at Harvard University and has worked for the Opéra-Orchestre National de Montpellier and the Opéra National du Rhin. He regularly participates in the training sessions of the Pôle Voix et Répertoire, whether it be for a philosophical workshop, a day of art history at the Musée d’Orsay or French poetry within the framework of the Orsay-Royaumont Academy.
