安魂彌撒/哀歌等宗教曲集 - 對死亡的恐懼
多米尼克.維雅 指揮
吉利斯班裘斯合奏團

"This programme focuses on the Missa pro defunctis by the composer Charles d'Argentil. Recorded for the first time here, it is one of only a dozen musical settings of the liturgy of the dead written before 1550 to have survived to this day. Little-known today, Charles d'Argentil, who worked in the prestigious Papal Chapel in Rome, was nevertheless a key figure in the French Renaissance, as well as in the establishment of musical settings of the Requiem for papal ceremonies. His setting sits alongside the three Lamentations du samedi saint by Claudin de Sermisy, composer to the French royal chapel under Francois I, as well as Jehan Barra's Salve Regina.
The Gilles Binchois ensemble here sheds light on an all-too-often overlooked part of musical history, through the generation that directly followed Josquin des Pres. The art of these three composers, who share a richly sonorous style, a good balance between imitation and homophonic declamation and formal clarity, bears witness to the high level of mastery attained by that productive and talented generation of French composers."
