Mass : Je suis desheritee
Sc.hola Polyphonica
Director. Henry Washington
For nearly fifteen years Nicholas Gombert was in charge of the chapel choir at the Emperor Charles V's court. This royal post afforded frequent opportunities for travel and gave Gombert a wide acquaintance with European music of the time. He took the rheme of his Mass ' Je suit desheritee ' (1557) from a four-part chanson by Pierre Cadeac. D.S.
