Josquin: Missa Mater Patris; Bauldeweyn: Missa Da pacem

Released

Perhaps the foremost current exponents of what has come to be called the Oxbridge Sound are the Tallis Scholars, founded in 1973 and still led by Peter Phillips. On this recording, the group presents Mass settings by three composers of the Franco-Flemish School, all of them active in the late 15th and early 16th centuries, but only one of them (Josquin Desprez) still widely known today. Noel Bauldeweyn is almost forgotten, but his Missa Da pacem is exquisite, as is Antoine Brumel’s Missa Mater patris. Josquin’s Mass on the same song rounds out an outstanding program.
