Primarily Pipelare

Mattheus Pipleare (c. 1450-1515) was a composer active in the Low Countries during the great flowering of Franco-Netherlandish music.  He lived and worked in Louvain, Antwerp and ‘s-Hertogenbosch, and, unlike many of his contemporaries, seems never to have left to study in either France or Italy.  A master of polyphony, his surviving music consists mainly of sacred works, and the Festival Chorus of Collectio Musicorum will present several of these works, including his magisterial Missa de Feria and Magnificat  at a free concert on Friday, October 20th at Christ and St. Stephen’s Church, 122 West 69th St, New York, NY 10023 at 8 PM.  Also on the program are keyboard intabulations of works by Pipelare, performed by the organist James Wetzel.  

This concert is a tribute to the memory of Dr. Ronald Cross (1929-2013), whose work as a musicologist brought the compositions of Pipelare to light and life.  Dr. Cross was also a composer, and several of his organ works will be heard at the concert, along with music by his colleague, Dr. Arnold Rosner (1945-2013), a composer inspired by Renaissance polyphony.  Other works by composers associated with Dr. Cross will also appear on the program.
