Pierre de la Rue was a contemporary of Josquin, and spent most of his career in the service of the Dukes of Burgundy. Here is the earliest recording of his Requiem, the third known musical setting of the mass for the dead in music history after those by Dufay (lost) and Ockeghem. Performed by a precursory ensemble of the Capella Antiqua München, it is accompanied by elegiac motets of the same period, such as Vinders’ O mors inevitabilis mourning the death of Josquin, or Vaet’s Continuo lacrimas, a lament on the death of Clemens non Papa.
