CMM 106 Caspar Van Weerbeke, Collected Works, Edited by Gerhard Croll, Et Al. Vol. II Masses 2 (4 Masses, 2 Credos)

Gaspar van Weerbeke, born around 1450 in the Flemish city of Oudenaarde, was one of the most acclaimed composers of the Josquin generation. Active primarily in Milan and Rome, he is known today as one of the few composers--along with Josquin, Comp re, and Gaffurius--of motet cycles. With this volume, his substantial output of conventional mass cycles is for the first time completely available in an edition. The repertory includes freely composed masses and missae breves, bearing witness to new trends in mass composition ca. 1500. For more information, see http: //www.corpusmusicae.com/cmm/cmm_cc106.htm
