MACHAUT Messe de Nostre Dame
Motets of Josquin des Prez

Enchanting music for a Gothic space! Machaut’s late medieval Messe de Nostre Dame, hauntingly beautiful motets of Josquin des Prez and the meditative sounds of Gregorian Chant resound ethereally in the world’s largest Gothic cathedral (concert info courtesy of the Musica Sacra website)
