This is an all-male vocal performance. The Missa Prolationum is one of Ockeghem's most famous masses, constructed entirely in canon. As such, it is a unique example of the period and continued to be admired for its technical means for several decades.
This recording also includes Ockeghem's complete surviving motets, and indeed item #13 is now thought not to be by Ockeghem. These motets show a great formal imagination and contrapuntal prowess, yet remain accessible.
