About this product

Music clearly fascinated the great Dutch artist Hieronymus Bosch (c.1450-1516); his sketches and paintings are peppered with closely observed depictions of music-making and musical instruments. Bosch, a native of 's-Hertogenbosch in the Duchy of Brabant, was a life-long brother of the city's Brotherhood of Our Illustrious Lady, a large and prestigious organization for which sacred music was an essential and highly-valued part of it's devotional life. Every Wednesday Bosch could gather with his Confraternity brothers in their opulent chapel in the church of St. John the Evangelist to celebrate a votive Mass in honor of the Blessed Virgin. This recording aims to capture a sense of the devotional soundscape that Bosch experienced throughout his life as a member of this music-loving Marian brotherhood. Instead of the frightening cacophony conjured by the artist's vision of Hell, we encounter here the joy and serenity of the weekly Marian votive Mass liturgy. We have chosen the Missa Cum jocunditate by Pierre de la Rue(c.1452-1518), who was not only the most renowned composer of the Habsburg-Burgundian court but also an external member of the brotherhood from the early 1490s until his death in 1518. Indeed, La Rue may well have had occasion to meet Bosch during these years. Cappella Pratensis sings from the original notation, reading from scale copies of the confraternity's manuscripts of plainsong and polyphony, and adopts the Brabant pronunciation of Latin those singers surely employed. They also read together from one large music book, like the men portrayed in the Singers in the Egg sketch attributed to Bosch. Album Tracks 1. Introitus Salve Sancta Parens (Plainchant) 2. Missa Cum Jocunditate 3. Graduale Benedicta Et Venerabilis Es (Plainchant) 4. Alleluia Ave Maria (Plainchant) 5. Sequentia Verbum Bonum Et Suave (Organ Improvisation) 6. Missa Cum J

From the first floating tones on InchThe YearInch, composed by Fanny Mendelssohn upon completing a journey to Italy, one feels transported into another era. Els Bieseman's Fortepiano debut CD set exactly those strings in vibration that have been lost on the modern concert grand. The dreamlike sound of the Pleyel grand beautifully fits the transparent, structured and supple playing of the young Belgian. Album Tracks 1. Andante Cantabile 2. Allegro Molto in C minor 3. January 4. February 5. March 6. April 7. May 8. June 9. June (First Version) 10. July 11. August 12. September 13. October 14. November 15. December 16. Postlude 17.

At the dawn of the Renaissance the southern Dutch city of 's-Hertogenbosch, with it's abundance of churches and monasteries, was also referred to as InchLittle RomeInch. Central to this religious scene was the Brotherhood of Our Illustrious Lady (Illustre Lieve Vrouwe Broederschap), founded in 1318. This devotional organization, which counted among it's members the famous painter Hieronymus Bosch, invested considerably in recruiting and employing the best singers and organists for it's chapel, which performed a wide variety of polyphonic music. No fewer than nine choir books with this repertoire are still preserved by the confraternity. After centuries of silence, this magnificent collection is finally sounding once again. With the five-year project The Den Bosch Choirbooks (2020-24), Cappella Pratensis, itself based in 's-Hertogenbosch, is giving these manuscripts the attention they deserve. The project includes numerous concerts, workshops, publications, lectures and a series of five albums. This recording thus invites listeners to imagine themselves among the confraternity members gathered in their chapel in the church of St John the Evangelist in 's-Hertogenbosch on a sunny spring day. It is May 6, the great feast of St John Before the Latin Gate that commemorates the attempted martyrdom of the Evangelist in 92 AD. Album Tracks 1. Motet - Tua Est Potentia 2. Introitus - Protexisti Me 3. Missa Tua Est Potentia - Kyrie 4. Missa Tua Est Potentia - Gloria 5. Alleluia - Clamaverunt Iusti 6. Alleluia - Dominus in Synai 7. Sequentia - Verbum Dei Deo Natum 8. Missa Tua Est Potentia - Credo 9. Offertorium Motet - Salva Nos Domine 10. Prefatio 11. Missa Tua Est Potentia - Sanctus with Elevation Motet - O Salutaris Hostia 12. Pater Noster 13. Missa Tua Est Potentia - Agnus Dei 14. Communio - Ego Sum Vitis 15. Motet - Da Pacem Domine
