Jesuite missioners in China played a key role in the cultural interaction between east and west.Many of them left for the far east to accomplish their duty of spreading the word of God.
During their travels they wrote memoirs, travel diaries and other texts which very much influenced the cultured European elites especially during the age of Enlightement.
At this time firsts tests of cultural encounters were made: Christian dogmas were paired with Confucius’ doctrines, and similar approaches were also taken in scientific, historic and musical contexts.Director Jean-Christophe Frisch and his ensemble XVIII-21 Le Baroque Nomade will offer the Beijing Jesuits mass, a musical liturgical reconstruction with texts taken from Cahiers de musique sacrée as transmitted by missioner Joseph Marie Amiot: western language is mized with Chinese melodies.
Lauda per la Beata Vergine is also included , one of the few music texts kept at the French Jesuits library of Beijing.
