La Fleur de la Renaissance

Step into the rich, resplendent world of polyphony, with this program of chansons, motets, and mass movements from Renaissance France. The concert will be shaped around a pastiche mass built from several L’Homme armé settings, interwoven with works by Josquin des Prez, Clément Janequin, Guillaume Dufay, and others. These towering figures shaped the soundscape of the 15th and early 16th centuries. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear their sublime compositions brought to life—an evening of exquisite harmony, historic beauty, and musical flowering. Charles Edward McGuire, PhD, from Oberlin College & Conservatory, will present a pre-concert talk 45 minutes prior.
