newMaster of Polyphony Volume 2

The Polyphony of Johannes Touront and his World

Locked away for centuries in the cathedral library in Trent, Italy, an enormous collection of 15th century vocal music remained undiscovered until the late 1800’s. The Trent collection contains much of the surviving works of the little known, but amazing polyphonic master, Johannes Touront, whose music is among the most inspiring of the age. Touront was a master in the use of sequence and imitation and was among the first use parody as a means to unify the Mass. This edition contains lute intabulations of his entire known output, including several motets and 8 complete Mass cycles from the Trent collection and other sources.
