Album Notes & Community Reviews
Guillaume de Machaut's 'Messe de Nostre Dame', composed around 1360, is the earliest complete polyphonic setting of the Mass Ordinary by a single named composer, and Ensemble Organum perform it with eight voices alongside chant Propers taken from a Reims manuscript. Marcel P茅r猫s's ornamented, chant-inflected approach divided critics, and the recording was named among the New York Times' one hundred essential discs.
