Johannes Regis - Lauda Sion Salvatorem

Lauda Sion Salvatorem
by Johannes Regis

Performed by the Clerks' Group

Johannes Regis (c.1425 - c.1496) was a Renaissance composer of the Franco-Flemish school. Regis was quite a well-known composer in his day, serving as a secretary to Guillaume Dufay from 1464 - 1474 and being mentioned by the Flemish music theorist Johannes Tinctoris in the early 1470's.

Two masses, seven motets, and two secular songs by Regis have survived, with other works being lost, including a Missa l'homme armé. He was also amongst the first composers to write for five voices, as in the present motet.

This recording by the Clerks' Group is from their world premiere recording of Johannes Regis' compositions, Johannes Regis: Opera Omina.

[TWTinctoris]

A very beautyful motet. And Regis is an important name but his music is not often to hear.
