Work continues on preparing the repertoire for the Sacred Music Colloquium this summer, and one of the composers who will contribute music is Antoine Brumel (1460-1512), one of many pre-Reformation composers of polyphony who are being rediscovered in our time. Ever since I first heard his “Missa Et ecce terrae motus,” I’ve been enraptured by his style. Here is the Gloria from that Mass, as sung by the Tallis Scholars.

Have you heard the Missa Mater Patris by Josquin, which is a parody of a motet by the same name by Brummel? The two together really are perfection!
Beautiful thank you.
Oh Jeffrey! Tell me this is another wilco/Brudieu wonder!
I don't know if Wendy and I are going to be able to attend Dusquene because we're scheduled to christen a new parish mid-June, but if it opens early, tell Arlene the Big Guy's crashing the party to rumble with Brummel!
That Gloria is spectacular, breathtaking….
Excuse me, I need a moment.
