Diamonds in the Darkness
Selected Works by Josquin des Prez
May 29 & 30, 2026
This spring we celebrate the “master of notes,” Josquin des Prez, the most influential composer of the Renaissance. His repertoire includes works both joyful and somber, sacred and secular. We’ve selected a few of our favorites, including the ethereal Missa Pange Lingua, the mournful Mille Regretz, and the humorous El Grillo, the tale of a stalwart cricket who sings only for love.
