Missa de plus en plus / 5 Motets

Album by Johannes Ockeghem & The Clerks & Edward Wickham

This release is a collection of sacred vocal works by Johannes Ockeghem, dating from the mid-15th century. The music exemplifies late-medieval to early-Renaissance polyphony characterised by dense contrapuntal lines, modal harmonies and careful voice-leading, and it illustrates Ockeghem's contribution to the development of the mass and motet genres in the 15th century.
