Introducing the best Renaissance composer you may never have heard of. Antoine Brumel's Missa Et Ecce Terrae Motus, or 'Earthquake Mass was written in 1507 for the Duke of Ferrara. The incredibly complex twelve-part choral writing is based on a seven-note Cantus Firmus that underpins the whole piece. The effect is astonishing; a wall of sound that is both inspiring and ethereal. If you like Tallis's Spem in Alium, you'll love Brumel. The Mass is performed alongside other more well-know motets in the wonderful acoustic of Pusey House Chapel.
