Heinrich Isaac’s “Missa Virgo prudentissima” stands out as a very rare work in the panorama of the Ordinary settings composed at the turn of the sixteenth century. Its monumental sound, linked to the six-voice texture – mostly used for timbral variety, but occasionally for fullness of sound – the imaginative use of its cantus firmus, and its mature and sure contrapuntal writing make it one of the most successful works by the Flemish master. The centrepiece of this recording, Isaac’s six-voice Mass Virgo prudentissima, belongs to a group of five works based on the Assumption antiphon. One of these compositions is probably earlier, but the other four are very likely part of a unified musical project, as proposed by David Rothenberg. After thirty years, the Ensemble Gilles Binchois keeps its unremitting enthusiasm in upholding the 15th and 16th century repertoires and the medieval Church music, topics of its musical work. Drawing on this deep experience, the ensemble expanded its repertoires, basing its performances on its deeply founded aesthetics within Baroque and medieval monodies which suggest connections and dialogues with other musical cultures (India, Morocco, Iran, Spain). The Ensemble Gilles Binchois can be heard regularly in Europe and has toured in Morocco, India, USA, Malaysia, South America. Dominique Vellard and the Ensemble Gilles Binchois have released more than 40 recordings and this one will be out on Evidence.
