內容簡介
內容簡介 The Brabant Ensemble continues its exploration of hidden gems of the Renaissance with an album of music by AntoineBrumel, famous for his ‘Earthquake’ Mass but otherwise barely known today. Conductor Stephen Rice has assembled anintriguing collection of works including the Missa de beata virgine, a work suffused with plainsong but in which the voicesare used almost percussively, making rhythm the driving force of the piece. The Christmas motet Nato canunt omnia is oneof the most remarkable musical works of the period.The Brabant Ensemble’s performance is polished yet light, flexible expressive and spontaneous, parading the polyphonyin all its glory.
