Missa Salve Diva Parens [CD]

The Sound and the Fury – Missa Salve Diva Parens [CD]

Jacob Obrecht's Missa Salve diva parens is one of the most compelling polyphonic Mass cycles of the late 15th century and a high point of the Franco-Flemish school. Obrecht was Europe's preeminent master of the Mass until Josquin des Prez rose to prominence after his death.

What sets this work apart is its enigmatic nature: unlike typical liturgical Masses tied to the church calendar, it presents a genuine puzzle. Vocal ensemble The Sound and the Fury brings its rich polyphony to life on CD from Fra Bernardo.

Genre: Choral, Classical, Renaissance.
