Marian Feasts - Motet general
|
ISMN M-2056-0119-5 | |
| Josquin's original 4-part setting is so perfect that it seems sacrilegious to add further voices. Yet the composer of the additional soprano and tenor - now thought to have been Daser - creates a wonderful rich texture which seems to add further colour to Josquin's masterpiece.This version is transposed down a third for male voices. | ||

Marian Feasts - Sequence
|
ISMN M-2056-0791-3 | |
| A revised edition of Josquin's famous piece, which provided the model for many parodies. Josquin probably took the idea from an anonymous English 3-voice setting (in my catalogue) which was based on the chant Sequence: this was in turn a contrafactum of a very early sequence for Holy Trinity, which probably derived from the even earlier jubilus of the Alleluia. | ||

Penitential - Psalm
|
ISMN M-2056-0533-9 | |
| One of the most celebrated of Josquin's pieces, imitated by many composers. The Tenor sings throughout the piece the single phrase 'Miserere mei Deus,' rising one step for 'De-'. This is repeated 21 times, on each step of the scale down and up and down again, after each verse of the psalm. The piece lasts about 14 minutes and is not to be undertaken lightly! | ||

Only the Credo is in normal clefs; the other movements are in high clefs and need transposition. Our edition, completely revised in 2006, is available in two versions, high and low voices. This is the version for low voices. | ||
