Donald Macleod goes in search of an elusive master of the Renaissance.

Choral director Jeremy Summerly and Donald Macleod go in search of that elusive Renaissance master, Josquin des Prez. Today, Josquin's secular music.

In the company of choral director Jeremy Summerly, Donald Macleod goes in search of that elusive Renaissance master, Josquin des Prez. Today they explore the composer's secular music, as well as church music with secular associations - from a fanfare that may have been written for the coronation of Louis XII to a psalm-setting that doubled as a 'musical invoice', via Josquin's moving musical memorial to his teacher, Johannes Ockeghem.
