Saturday, Oct. 15, 3:00 pm
First Church in Cambridge, Congregational
11 Garden Street, Cambridge

One of the master’s most celebrated and mysterious creations, the earliest surviving polyphonic setting of the Mass for the Dead (known as the Requiem from the first word of the introit), together with motets honoring Ockeghem by Antoine Busnoys and Johannes Lupi – or, more likely, Lupus Hellinck.

Johannes Ockeghem (c. 1420-1497): Missa pro defunctis (Requiem); Il ne m’en chault; Missa De plus en plus: Agnus dei
Antoine Busnoys (c. 1430-1492): In hydraulis; Ma damoiselle, ma maistresse
Johannes Lupi (c. 1506-1539) or Lupus Hellinck (1493/4-1541); text by Erasmus of Rotterdam (late 1460s-1536): Ergo ne conticuit

Free pre-concert talk by Sean Gallagher (New England Conservatory) at 2:15 pm.
