Ockeghem - Missa Prolationum: Sanctus

The Sanctus, like the rest of the Mass, makes a subtle and elaborate use of canon, the device by which one voice follows another, in imitation, but here with variations in note durations.

magic stuff - and their recording of Missa Ecce Ancilla with early instruments is simply fabulous

This whole mass is mensuration canon. When there are 4 voices, two are written (usually the Sop and Ten) and two 'realized' (usually the Alt and Bass). The Sop and Ten are written in 2 of the 4 prevailing time signatures of the day, the other two parts are realized by reading the same music, possibly at a different pitch, in one of the other 2 standard time signatures, so that in 4 voices there are 4 different time signatures.

Early Music at its best. The sound quality is overwhelming and the technique of polyphonic note duration is awesome. Thank you so much.

Truly inspiring piece of music, sweet "bubbly". It sounds as though it were recorded during the Communion at a Catholic Mass. I simply love to listen to it.

Thank you so much!
