JOHANNES OCKEGHEM (1420-1497)

 

Missa Cuiusvis Toni

 

Ensemble Musica Nova / Lucien Kandel

 

With the Missa cuiusvis toni, Ockeghem achieves a veritable tour de force: a work having the advantage of being able to be executed in all church modes. In an era when composers vied with each other in virtuosity, this mass 'in whatever tone' became an unsurpassable model. Musica Nova recreates the four versions here for the first time on disc.
