About this product
Adriaen Willaert must have already been a prolific composer before he assumed the position of kapellmeister at the Basilica of San Marco in Venice. After all, a second Mass of his was included in a large, illuminated choral manuscript that was produced for the Illustrious Brotherhood of Our Blessed Lady in 's-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands. The title page of the Mass does not mention the name of the composition, only that of the composer, Adrianus Willart. It was cataloged as a Missa sinenomine, a Mass without a name. It is assumed that the work was composed between 1522 and 1527, at a time when Willaert was a member of the music chapel of Cardinal Ippolito d'Este in Ferrara, Italy. At first glance, what's striking about this composition is that one of the tenor voices sings a cantus firmus (a Inchgiven, fixed, foundational voiceInch that provides the basis for each movement of the Mass, to which the other voices are added) that always consists of the same 13notes. In an article about the Mass, the musicologist Joshua Rifkin claims to have discovered a sogetto cavato delle parole in this sequence of notes. This is a compositional technique common for the time in which the notes of a melody, in this case the cantus firmus, are derived from the vowels of certain words. The notes used for the tone poetry are those of the Guidonian hexachord, a series of the 6 notes ut-re-mi-fa-sol-la. For example, the word Maria (Ma-ri-a) can be InchtranslatedInch into the notes la mi la.

With this project Tore Denys wants to return to his roots in Roeselare and pay homage to one of the greatest composers in Roeselare's history. Together with the members of his ensemble Dionysos Now!, he wants to plan a trajectory to have a contemporary reflection of his most striking signature works in 2022 - 460 years after the death of Adriaan Willaert. For many, Adriaan Willaert is not a complete stranger, but his extensive and versatile oeuvre rarely appears in concert programs or on album recordings. The relative unfamiliarity with the oeuvre of the Flemish but world-renowned polyphonists is at the root of the fact that their names do not dare to be mentioned in the same breath as those of Bach, Mozart or Beethoven. Wrongly. As a famous composer and renowned educator, Willaert gathered around him a wide circle of pupils and friends, both Italians and Flemish and Dutch, so that he can be considered the Inchfounder of the Venetian schoolInch, an epithet that is fully justified. Willaert's oeuvre is extremely extensive 150 motets, vespers, hymns and psalms, eight masses of chansons madrigals.
American Record Guide The one-on-a-part performances here are stunningly beautiful. Dionysos Now is clearly a first-class male-voice a cappella ensemble with excellent vocal blend and coherent delivery. The ensemble includes 2 basses and a bass-baritone. This combination adds a sumptuous gravity to the words of Jesus and to the 6-part crowd choruses.
