About this concert
Matthaeus Pipelare and Franchinus Gaffurius were contemporaries—and opposites. Pipelare’s Missa Fors seulement is the pinnacle of the Franco-Flemish tradition; Gaffurius’ Missa O clara luce is the calling card of an enfant terrible who loved the Italian style. Strangely, Gaffurius ruled for thirty years as chapel master at the Sforza court in Milan, where he built a top collection of… Franco-Flemish polyphony! Paul Van Nevel and his Huelgas Ensemble navigate between conversation and clash in this lively confrontation.

About the performers
The Huelgas Ensemble, founded by Paul Van Nevel and named after the thirteenth-century Codex Las Huelgas, has for over forty years been one of the leading ensembles in the area of medieval and Renaissance music. The ensemble works with varying vocal and instrumental line-ups according to the requirements of the repertoire. The Huelgas Ensemble has given many memorable performances at the festival and has made more than a hundred recordings of music from the thirteenth to the beginning of the seventeenth century, for example Dufay, Brumel, de Rore, Richafort, de Kerle, Ferrabosco, Palestrina, Lassus and Ashewell. Since 2019, the Huelgas Ensemble organizes its own annual festival in the picturesque Burgundian village Talant.
