Choir of New College, Oxford - Western Wind Mass

[jrdscrgn]

It was not unusual for secular songs to be the basis of masses at this time. Palestrina, Dufay, and almost every major composer from this period wrote masses based on secular tunes. The French song "L'homme Armé" was an immensely popular song that provided many many composers with mass settings. Thanks for posting such wonderful music! I love it!

@jrdscrgn Effectively. Quite as Shakespeare who was inspired by heathen(Pagan) anecdotes. I admire your knowledge. ()

Ah Henri, il a longtemps. Content de ta visite. Et oui une période de l'angleterre magnifique. Dire que si Henri VIII ne s'était pas séparé de Rome, nous n'aurions jamais connu ce style. Enfin je crois.
