Missa De plus en plus / Missa Fors seulement

This release pairs two masses by the Franco-Flemish composer Johannes Ockeghem, composed in the mid-15th century. The works exemplify Renaissance polyphony with dense, interweaving vocal lines, modal harmonies and intricate contrapuntal writing, and they occupy an important place in the development of the mass as a large-scale polyphonic genre in the fifteenth century.
