Revision as of 15:21, 30 June 2014 by SophieByvik (talk | contribs) (Added image from What's On>Folger Consort>Past Seasons>Josquin & Isaac: Master of the Notes)

Folger Consort performed Josquin & Isaac: Master of the Notes from October 7 to October 9, 2005. Josquin--whose ravishingly expressive works were universally admired for their sublime beauty--was unquestionably the greatest composer of his age. Yet, Isaac--who astonishing versatility produced songs in every language, lively instrumental pieces, and masterpieces of Flemish contrapuntal art--was not far behind. In the season's opening concert, the Consort performed motets, songs, and carmina by both Renaissance masters.
