Missa Reges terrae a6 & Motets for the Capilla Flamenca by Pierre de Manchicourt. Largely unknown until recently, the music of Pierre de Manchicourt is at last finding its way onto the early music concert stage. Manchicourt, court composer of Philip II of Spain , has been long overshadowed by his more familiar contemporaries, Gombert, Clemens non Papa and Crecquillon. As composer and director of Philip’s Flemish chapel, Manchicourt wrought music of great beauty; sonorous rich and mysterious, composed fittingly for the chapel of a King.
