This is an all-male vocal recording, constructing a full service out of chant and Ockeghem's polyphony. In addition, two polyphonic movements by Antonius Divitis (c.1470-c.1530) are included, to make the service liturgically complete. The Sanctus uses boys voices.
Among (somewhat) more famous composers, Divitis' career and style most closely parallels Mouton's. The present settings are also attributed to another colleague, Fevin.
