Josquin, Prince of Music (2003)

Saturday, 10 May 2003, 8pm
Xavier College Chapel, Barkers Road, Kew

Subscription Concert 2

Concert 2 is devoted entirely to Josquin Desprez, “Prince of Music,” whose works have always featured
significantly in our performances. All the works on this program are, however, new to our repertoire, and each has a fascinating story behind it. Liber generationis Jesu Christi demonstrates that Josquin could have set the Yellow Pages to superb music had they been available, while Ut Phoebi radiis takes us into the fascinating world of the Order of the Golden Fleece.
