"The perfect dancing is memory, tempo, style, how the body is held, the diversity of things and the sharing of space...". So begins one of the first dance treatises in history, written by the Italian dancing master Antonio Cornazzano in the 15th century. To go beyond the steps and figures he describes is to understand the symbolic role of this art, its aim to unite earthbound humanity with the kingdom of God. This recording echoes this universalist vision, following the thread of the first notated dances and exploring the songs or pieces that were sometimes also the source and inspiration of more refined compositions: Estampies and other forgotten dances of the Middle Ages; aristocratic basse-danses that were in vogue at the court of Burgundy; saltarelli of the bourgeoning Italian Renaissance; allemandes and heady branles danced at the revels of François I. On this recording, Into the Winds gleefully explores a great variety of spaces and aesthetics and reveal the timelessness of this art more than ever.

Into the Winds Striking, rarefied and noble sonorities of instruments from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance allow Into the Winds to take the listener back in time, across bridges and through hidden passageways…. Founded in 2017, the ensemble consists primarily of five young multi-instrumentalists with a mission to introduce both sacred and secular music from the late Middle Ages to the early Renaissance to new audiences, via original programming and innovative concerts.

Winner of the 2019 Van Wassenaer competition organized by the Utrecht Early Music Festival and selected as a recipient of funding for new European ensembles by EEEMERGING+, Into the Winds has performed in numerous festivals across France and abroad such as Festival d’Ambronay, Festival de Saintes, Flâneries Musicales de Reims, Sinfonia en Périgord, Valloire Baroque, Baroque en Tarentaise, Musique Baroque du Jura, Promenades Musicales en Pays d’Auge, Les Intemporel-les, Musiques Anciennes de la Réole, Vochora, Oude Muziek (Utrecht), MA Festival (Bruges), Felix! Festival (Cologne), La Cité Bleue (Geneva), La Folia (Rougemont) and Innsbrucker Abendmusick, among others.

Into the Winds and their hautboys, sackbuts, trumpets, recorders, and various percussion instruments resound not only within famed concert halls but equally on the stages of current and contemporary programming, in the winding alleyways of medieval villages, the vestiges of ancient battlegrounds of old, and even upon the ramparts of fortified castles. While balancing their instrumental mastery with the energy and groove of a big band, the musicians are committed to sharing the joy of their music-making with others.

In 2023, Into the Winds released its first CD, Le Parfaict Danser, on the Ricercar label (RIC452). Comprised of the earliest notated dances from the 13th through the 15th centuries, the recording has been universally acclaimed by early-music reviewers and audiences alike.
