- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 19 Feb, 2025 at 07:30 pm – Wed, 19 Feb, 2025 at 10:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Willamette University’s Rogers Music Center, Hudson Concert Hall

This evening concert is dedicated entirely to the diverse and extraordinary music of Josquin de Prez (c. 1450-1521). This innovative, compositional genius wrote not only sacred music, but also secular songs in the major languages of the day—Latin, Italian, and French. His expressive musical style led to the development of the madrigal, a quintessential form of the Renaissance. Highlights of this special program include some of Josquin's most famous works including El grillo, Nymphes des bois, and the monumental Missa pange lingua. The music will be interspersed with insightful commentary by Kerry McCarthy, one of the preeminent scholars on music of this period.

Cantores in Ecclesia, directed by Blake Applegate, is a specialized vocal ensemble dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Gregorian chant and sacred polyphony in liturgical context within the Latin Mass of the Catholic Church. The group has been providing music for worship and presenting concerts around Portland and internationally for over forty years. One of the highlights of the choir’s commitment to musical excellence is the annual William Byrd Festival, which brings world renowned guest conductors, lecturers and musicians to Portland for three weeks of concerts and events every August.
