ALL sacred music was modal until the major/minor keys were standardized. Which is why it sounds like it does.

I guess you either love it or you hate it. I could sing nothing but Renaissance polyphony and be happy as a clam. There's so much of it out there you'll never get to the end of it.

It’s a window into the culture of the ancient past.

To quote Mr. Faulkner, the past is not dead - it is not even past.

This is the glory of the Church.

- and I found the guys who were really working it . . .

New York Polyphony - Clemens non Papa "Magi veniunt" (the wise men having seen the star)

Even with the tai-chi, that’s hypnotic.

Clemens non Papa is later than Ockeghem & even Josquin (mid-to-late-16th c.) Nobody's sure why he's called "Jacob Clemens not-the-pope" because Pope Clement died well before any of his music was published. Some kind of inside joke long forgotten, I suppose.

He's mostly known for having written a scurrilous chanson which got Orlando di Lasso (an even later composer - right at the end of the 16th c) into a spot of trouble with his bishop for writing a Mass based on it - he didn't even trouble to disguise the melody at all.

You decide for yourself - but you'll have to look up the words, I won't put them here :-)

Chanson "Entre vous filles"

Mass "Entre vous filles"

But his music is so lovely, we forgive him everything!

Clever. Maybe a little naughty.

He mentions parts that you didn’t used to be able to mention on TV . . . it IS a delightful chanson though, just ignore the French (I barely have enough to read a wine list, so unless I go looking for trouble . . . love the change to triple time and back towards the end.)
