Simon-Pierre Bestion takes us into the world of Karel V and a Spain characterized by Arabo-Andalusian culture. From 1515 onwards, Spain also welcomed musicians and singers from Flanders: According to Bestion, this capilla flamenca had an explosive influence on Spanish Renaissance music. Now Simon-Pierre Bestion, an expert in early music, has compiled an imaginary requiem for the death of Karel V, using compositions that were actually intended for this service, such as the Missa pro defunctis by Pedro de Escobar and the Missa Mille regretz by Cristobal de Morales, which is based on the emperor's favorite song. As usual, the founder and director of Tempête takes some liberties and breathes life into these works by arranging them with variations in timbre, tempo and expression: "I chose to make extensive use of percussion and certain very characteristic instruments such as shawms and trombones, which fit perfectly with the spirit of open-air processions, such as those in the gardens of the Alhambra."
