Grace Goudy Distinguished Artists Series presents The Genius of Josquin
February 19, 7:30pm
This evening concert is dedicated entirely to the diverse and extraordinary music of Josquin de Prez (c. 1450-1521). This innovative, compositional genius wrote not only sacred music, but also secular songs in the major languages of the day—Latin, Italian, and French. His expressive musical style led to the development of the madrigal, a quintessential form of the Renaissance. During the concert a commentary will be given by Dr. Kerry McCarthy.
