MISSE JOSQUIN VIII - Missa Fortuna Desperata

In 2021 we commemorated 500 years since the death of the Franco-Flemish composer Josquin des Prez. On the occasion of this anniversary, the Alamire Foundation launched the project MISSE JOSQUIN in cooperation with AMUZ and KBR, a series of documentary-concerts on the twelve masses that can be attributed with certainty to the composer. In this twelve-part series we talk to nineteen experts from all over the world, including musicologists and performers, by way of introduction to newly made recordings of each polyphonic mass. Providing some ten hours of documentary material, we take an intimate look at the life and music of Josquin des Prez.
