The Ockeghem Collection

Released

If you can’t get enough of the sacred music of Johannes Ockeghem, then this five-disc box is exactly what you need. It contains no fewer than thirteen of the Franco-Flemish master’s Mass settings, several of them “parody” Masses written on the basis of such popular songs of the era as “L’homme armé” and “Fors seulement.” The Clerks Group, led by Edward Wickham, is an outstanding ensemble known for the practice of singing from facsimile editions of original Renaissance manuscripts.
