Antoine Brumel: Earthquake Mass

FOLLOWING ON FROM THEIR SUCCESSFUL LAST RECORDING, JOSQUIN THE UNDEAD (GCDP32117) GRAINDELAVOIX IS AN ANTWERP-BASED MUSIC AND ART ENSEMBLE FOUNDED IN 1999. HELMED BY FOUNDER-DIRECTOR BJORN SCHMELZER, IT IS COMMITTED TO OFFERING A CONTEMPORARY AND CRITICAL INTERPRETATION OF MAINLY HISTORICAL, VOCAL REPERTOIRES.
It would be difficult to find a composition that resembles the twelve-part mass Et ecce terrae motus by Antoine Brumel (ca.1460-ca.1513). The almost continuous scoring with twelve voices and its musical effect give the work a unique position in Renaissance music. Brumel made a name for himself in the European music world of the 16th century with this unique experiment.

Bjorn Schmelzer and Graindelavoix present here a recording whose artistic uncompromisingness really does have the effect of an earthquake.
