Mysteries of Early Music: Obrecht in Spain?

This week, we explore the manuscript known as the Cancionero de Segovia from Spain It contains more Franco-Flemish music than Spanish, including 18 compositions by the Flemish composer Jacob Obrecht that are not found in any other source. Yet Obrecht never visited Spain… Mysterious, huh? What’s that all about? Plus, a tribute to Jean Lamon, founder and longtime director of the acclaimed Baroque orchestra Tafelmusik, who passed away in June 2021.

This week on Harmonia, music from the Carvor Choirbook, the largest surviving collection of Scottish sacred polyphony from the sixteenth century. The music is ornate and demanding, implying that they had some very fine singers back then - and luckily for us, we still do.

Holidays are a great time for music! And this week on Harmonia, we’re going to take a spin through three favorite tunes and enjoy how early composers and modern performers make them memorable. Warm up your ears for some holiday cheer!
