Cappella Pratensis
The Choirbook of Margaret of Austria V
Anyone who thinks that ordinary days only deserve ordinary music has not reckoned with Pierre de la Rue. His Missa de Feria, intended for non-festive days during the church year, is anything but modest! This five-part mass boasts two strictly canonic parts: a contrapuntal tour de force that sparkles in the parchment showcase called Mechels Koorboek. Cappella Pratensis sings directly from the historical notation and sheds light on the everyday yet glorious life at the Burgundian court.
