An educational programme featuring early music. On 27 August 1521, composer Josquin des Prez died in the Hainaut Condé-sur-l’Escaut. This year marks the 500 hundredth anniversary of his death. We’ll commemorate that with a seven-part series about his life and works. In this third part, we’ll listen to Josquin’s later motets.
