Their programme reveals the contemplativeintensity of sacred works by Heinrich Isaac, who servedthe Medici court in Florence and also under EmperorMaximilian I, and Jean Mouton, a musician at the Frenchcourt of Louis XII and Francis I.
They open with Isaac’suplifting Regina caeli laetare before entering the resonantsoundworld of the Missa de apostolis, a work of mysticpower written for six voices. The concert’s second halfcelebrates the sophistication and vast inventive rangeof the motet as cultivated by Isaac and Mouton.
