About this concert
‘Beware the armed man!’ The warning about ‘L’homme armé’ sounds twice as powerful from the mouth of Josquin Desprez: he twice used the popular medieval melody as the basis for composing a mass. During this concert, Lionel Meunier is the duty chief, with the brilliant Missa Sexti toni, in which the melody keeps popping up all over the place.

About the performers
The Belgian ensemble Vox Luminis, consisting of a very international cast of soloists, focuses on vocal music written between the 16th and 18th centuries. Most of the group met at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. The ensemble operates independently but also collaborates with instrumental groups such as Les Muffatti. Various CDs on the Ricercar label have been received with enthusiasm, including Schütz’ Musikalische Exequien, and English Royal Funeral Music, with works by Purcell and others. Vox Luminis was artist in residence during the Early Music Festival Utrecht of 2015.
