Description:
Apart from many beautifully calligraphed choirbooks the Bavarian State Library (Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Munich) contains a variety of part-books from the 16th century. The authors in this edition were mostly Franco-Flemish composers, and most of them not very well remembered these days. Some of the names we see regularly in today’s repertoire, like De Manchicourt, Zarlino, Crequillon, Arcadelt, Clemens non Papa, De la Rue, Gombert and Vaet. But some names are rare or even unheard of: Du Pont, Lupino, Junckers, Comes, Jordan. The more surprising are their contributions to this album. Although more or less written in the same style of the mid-16th century of Flanders, there are jewels of pleasant sounding polyphony among them.
