Josquin des Prez was one of most influential composers of the late Renaissance. He was extraordinary productive in the large set of works he compose, mainly in the liturgical area. His work includes masses, motets, hymns, psalms and also profane pieces. The harmony of the voices is fantastic, achieving a fabulous melody, which leads to a religious reflection. It is a unique choral music, which can hardly be compared to another composed in other periods. Unfortunately, its dissemination is very limited, given the masterpiece it represents. Thanks for the opportunity given to hear this magnificent recording.
Nice music. Though it's strange that although you sing from original choirbook notation, you sing this piece evidently in high chiavette without downward transposition.
