Description

The oeuvre of Johannes Ockeghem influenced a considerable number ofmusicians who were contemporaries with, or came immediately after, theMaster of Tours. Many of these talented composers took one of his worksas a model, thus bearing eloquent testimony to their admiration for him.All of them visited him and helped popularize his image as a benevolent father figure to this amazing caste of singers and composers. Ockeghem sdeath at a ripe old age in 1497 greatly affected the brilliant generation thatwas in the process of making the transition between the Middle Ages and theRenaissance, and naturally led to the creation of some deeply moving music.Four motets covering a wide stylistic range, a complete polyphonic mass,and an extraordinary poem of lamentation make up this touching tribute toJohannes Ockeghem from his colleagues and friends. The works assembledon this CD represent the high point of Franco-Flemish counterpoint, andillustrate the imperceptible shift from Middle Ages to Renaissance thanksto the sublime music sublimated by the death of the great master. They aresung here according to the tradition of the great cathedrals and collegiatechurches: a cappella, with one or two singers to a part, as the works require.
