Happy Ascensiontide! If you don't already know Antoine de Févin's lovely motet for the occasion, do have a listen to this: open.spotify.com/track/6Rybx…
It's nearly Quasimodo Sunday, so here is the Offertory for that day, set by Palestrina: open.spotify.com/track/2RB0K…

But now finally the #bedtimetunes @BrabantEnsemble with some sublime, hypnotic Morales C16th polyphonic ebb and flow, recorded in the warm acoustic of the Chapel of @MertonCollege
The cover painting by the way is by Fra Angelico from c1450-55
It's our final day of recording music by the "Wolf Pack": Johannes Lupi and Lupus Hellinck. Lupi's 8-part Salve celeberrima Virgo is just stunning (hints of Gombert's Lugebat) and we love Hellinck's Missa Surrexit pastor too. Out this autumn on @hyperionrecords.
Thank you!
Always a treat to hear @BrabantEnsemble, for the quality of the singing of course but also because you are guaranteed a programme of fascinating rarities. (Plus you get their CDs for a bargain.) Lovely concert tonight @StJohnsSmithSq.
At 5pm today we shall be on @BBCInTune, singing Févin, La Rue, and Vaet. Our concert is tomorrow evening at @StJohnsSmithSq.
Thank you!
The pure harmonies and fluid counterpoint found in Josquin des Prez are also evident in Févin's music. "Radiant" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #EditorsChoice - Stephen @SterenceRice @BrabantEnsemble Antoine de Févin @allmusic ow.ly/6qPs30mLZCF @hyperionrecords Avail: ow.ly/g3pH30mLZLg
