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.
This concert is part of the
