The Goudy Distinguished Artist Series Presents:

The Genius of Josquin

Considered one of the greatest composers of the Renaissance
Performed by Cantores in Ecclesia

Wednesday, February 19, 2025 • 7:30 pm

Hudson Concert Hall
Mary Stuart Rogers Music Center 

This evening concert is dedicated entirely to the diverse and extraordinary music of Josquin de Prez (c. 1450-1521). This innovative, compositional genius wrote not only sacred music, but also secular songs in the major languages of the day—Latin, Italian, and French. His expressive musical style led to the development of the madrigal, a quintessential form of the Renaissance. The music will be interspersed with insightful commentary by Kerry McCarthy, one of the preeminent scholars on music of this period.

Cantores in Ecclesia, directed by Blake Applegate, is a specialized vocal ensemble dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Gregorian chant and sacred polyphony in liturgical context within the Latin Mass of the Catholic Church.
