About this concert
A genuine marathon as a prelude to the Festival: in the course of three concerts the Huelgas Ensemble will sing an entire alphabet of Burgundian composers, one for every letter.
It concerns composers who were employed by the Burgundian court, with a special exception for Josquin, prince of polyphony. The singers stagger arm in arm with Paul Van Nevel, visiting mass movements, motets and chansons by known and masters-to-be-discovered like Champion, Divitis, Binchois, de Orto, van Weerbeke and many others. With ‘anonymous’ to ‘incognito’ they bring a double ode to the many nameless polyphonists who nonetheless made breathtaking contributions to the polyphonic repertoire of the 15th century.
