Cipriano de Rore Parody Mass
Lucie Skeaping explores how Rore and Lassus paid a compliment to Josquin by using material from his Praeter rerum seriem in their own music. With a recording by the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Singers.
Josquin's motet - Praeter rerum seriem - proved to be very popular with younger composers of 16th century and in this programme Lucie Skeaping takes a look at how two of them - Cipriano de Rore and Roland de Lassus - paid a compliment to Josquin by using material from the motet in their own music. Nowadays song writers and composers "sample" music from elsewhere all the time but the idea is not a new one. "Parody" masses were very popular in the 16th century, sometimes being controversial in the choice of material if it was not sacred. De Rore's mass and a Magnificat by Lassus, along with the original Josquin motet, have been specially recorded for the Early Music Show by the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Singers conducted by Peter Phillips, who talks to Lucie Skeaping about why this music fascinates him.
