Donald Macleod and Christopher Page look at the pieces written towards the end of Machaut's life, including three motets (Tu Qui Gregem/Plange, Regni Respublica;
Christe Qui Lux/Veni Creator Spiritus and Felix Virgo/lnviolata Genitrix, performed by the Clerks'Group directed by Edward
Wickham) concerning the Siege of Rheims during the winter of 1359-60, and the work written as a memorial to himself and his brother and considered to be his crowning achievement: the Messe de Nostre
Dame, which is performed by Oxford
Camerata, director Jeremy Summerly.
