Brumel and Prez: Missa Berzerette Savoyenne

Released

Chanticleer, America’s premier all-male choral ensemble, has created an absolutely exquisite album with this recording of a parody Mass by the Franco-Flemish composer Antoine Brumel. For his melodic source material, Brumel chose a secular song by Josquin Desprez: “Berzerette savoyenne.” From that tune he builds a complex edifice of devotional music that is performed with luminous tone and hushed wonder by Chanticleer, resulting in one of their most gorgeous releases.
