Ave Maria … Virgo serena, a 6 - des Prez, Josquin

←→ navigate F fullscreen

"The Ave Maria … Virgo serena (Josquin des Prez) of Josquin des Prez was so popular in the sixteenth century that an anonymous composer, probably working after Josquin's death, circulated a version with two new added voices. It has been suggested that the composer of these added parts might have been the Austrian composer Ludwig Daser (ca. 1525-1589) who is known to have composed a parody Mass on the Josquin Ave Maria a 4. This work has been recorded by the early music group [http://zephyrus-va.org Zephyrus] on their CD [http://zephyrus-va.org/recordings-angelus.htm Angelus]. See also Ave Maria (Ludwig Senfl) by Ludwig Senfl."
