Music for a French Cathedral

Join for an exploration of the French Renaissance, when we will be exploring a musical lineage starting in the fourteenth century. From Machaut and Dufay, we will reach forward through Binchois, Ockeghem and Josquin, and end with Compère, Brumel, and de la Rue. This is the 550th anniversary of the passing of Dufay, and we will be singing two of his motets. We will be sharing Ockeghem’s mournful motet-chanson “Mort, tu as navré,” written for the passing of Binchois, and Josquin’s “Déploration sur la mort d’Ockeghem,” written for the passing of Ockeghem. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience over 150 years of French musical evolution in one program.
