Josquin Desprez's Missa Pange Lingua July 29, 2007

St. Bartholomew’s Summer Festival of Sacred Music, a New York institution, celebrates a new season with a series of outstanding choral works from around the world.

The Missa Pange lingua is a musical setting of the Ordinary of the Mass by Franco-Flemish composer Josquin des Prez, probably dating from around 1515, near the end of his life. Most likely his last mass, it an extended fantasia on the Pange Lingua hymn, and is one of Josquin's most famous mass settings. [Wikipedia]
