One of the great pleasures in life is singing with friends; composers of the Renaissance seemed to understand that better than anyone. The FRANCO-FLEMISH SACRED MUSIC volume of Renaissance Choral Favorites for SATB Singers features works in Latin by the leading composers of the day: Johannes OCKEGHEM (ca.1410-1497): Ave Maria; JOSQUIN Desprez (ca.1450-1521): Ave Maria (ca.1485) and Gaude virgo (ca.1485); Antoine BRUMEL (ca.1460-ca.1512): Noe, noe (Bonus et rectus Dominus) (1502); Henricus ISAAC (ca.1450-1517): Rogamus te (1504); and Pierre de la RUE (ca.1452-1518): Plores gemier. Prize-winning musicologist and choral conductor Ross W. Duffin has created easy-to-read editions, newly prepared from original sources, with information about each composer and translations into English.
