L Compere / Orlando Consort- Magnificat Motets & Chnasons (CD)
The Orlando Consort's third recording for Hyperion turns to the music of Loyset Compère, a composer the group first investigated some twenty years ago. In the intervening decades musicological research has elevated this composer from also-ran outsider to something of a trailblazer. For example, the wonderfully complex Magnificat recorded here, is now thought to predate the masterworks of Josquin by some fifteen years. A gorgeous selection of motets and chansons further charts this period of radical musical experimentation.
Tracklist:
- Magnificat Primi Toni
- Tant Ay D'ennuy/O Vos Omnes
- Dictes Moy Toutes Voz Pensées
- Une Plaisant Fillette Ung Matin Se Leva
- Vous Me Faites Morir D'envie
- Ung Franc Archier
- Ne Doibt on Prendre Quant on Donne
- Au Travail Suis Sans Espoir de Confort
- Mes Pensées Ne Me Lessent Une Heure 1
- O Bone Jesu
