Josquin is the master of notes” - This well-known quotation from Martin Luther describes how re-nowned Josquin des Prez (ca. 1450-1521) was already during his lifetime throughout Europe. Moreover, in the ensuing centuries the fascination with his work did not abate. He was the first composer who freed music from the predominant force of the cantus firmus and placed his formative genius above musical tradition. For many years the Kammerchor Josquin des Prez has successfully devoted its efforts to the musical opus of Josquin and in addition to the Missa Pange Lingua the choir presents lesser-known works on this, its debut CD.
