Desprez: Messe Ave Maris Stella/Motets A La Vierge
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
A Sei Voci began its noteworthy series of Josquin discs with this 1993 recording. Josquin's Missa Ave maris stella doesn't employ the beloved hymn to the Virgin as a cantus firmus, but rather uses various phrases of the melody as points of imitation in all four voices. Following the Mass is a rare find: a setting of the hymn Ave maris stella from the Vatican archives with odd verses in plainchant, one verse set by Dufay, and three verses set by Josquin. The Marian motet cycle Vultum tuum that closes the disc is not Josquin's most interesting work, but Gaude Virgo Mater Christi is compelling and jubilant despite its minor-key setting. --Matthew Westphal --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
