Composers: Claudio Merulo | Claudio Monteverdi | Giovanni Gabrieli | Jacob Obrecht | Jean Mouton
Don’t we all love renaissance music? Yes, but only few of us are really knowledgeable about it.
This means there is ample reason for us to play this music. There is also ample opportunity: we regularly record concerts with Flemish polyphonic music. In this program, you will hear two of them. The first concert revolves around a motet by Jean Mouton, Quaeremus cum patribus, as well as a parody mass that Adriaen Willaert composed around it. The second concert leads us into quite a different world. In it, secular songs from Jacob Obrecht are performed. You may know Obrecht from his sacred music, but these chansons are quite worldly indeed: they are all about sex and drinking, and they don’t shun dirty language! The texts have been translated into modern Dutch by Gerrit Komrij, who served as National Poet of the Netherlands from 2000 to 2005.
