“Hooked on Early Classics”

What made you an early music lover? Was it a madrigal you sang in high school? A motet in church? We asked Jouyssance members what hooked them on early music and they came up with a multitude of secular and sacred works by Palestrina, Perotin, Machaut, and many more. Revisit beloved classics and discover new favorites with us!

Diversity in early music? Recent research has uncovered a treasure trove of medieval and Renaissance music by composers from a wide variety of backgrounds, from cloistered Italian nuns to the first composers born in the New World. Jouyssance will perform sacred and secular music from these collections, as well as mesmerizing motets by the first published composer of African descent, Vicente Lusitano.

Our journey takes us to Italy, Mexico, and beyond for some astonishingly beautiful music!
