It's Thomas ...Well, that didn't take long! It's Thomas Crecquillon, from the same piece as video #3, no doubt.<br /><br />The <a href="http://www.nyae.org/Pages/Concerts%20&%20Events.html" rel="nofollow">"on the program" list is here</a>; this is the complete text from that link:<br /><br /><i>New York Polyphony<br />Sicut lilium – Antoine Brumel (c. 1460-1515)<br />Absalon fili mi – Josquin Des Prez (c. 1450/55-1521)<br />Vox in Rama – Jacobus Clemens non Papa (c. 1515-1555/56)<br />Lamentations of Jeremiah – Thomas Crecquillon (c. 1505-1557)<br />Ma fin est mon commencement – Jackson Hill (b. 1941) A New York Polyphony Commission/ New York Premiere<br /><br />( (( PHONATION )) ) by Bora Yoon to consist of:<br />Semaphore Conductus (Yoon)<br />A choral sound installation sung in surround, inspired by the conduction of energy, the language of signals, and sound. Performed within a sound design of shortwave radio number system transmissions, Morse code, cell phone sounds, and heartbeats, the surround choir (New York Polyphony) and Bora Yoon create a stereophonic performance piece, incorporating altered early music techniques of Latin conductus through hocket (a rhythmic technique using alternating notes and/or gestures), ventriloquated double choir, and antiphonal calls through the history and evolution of signaling and sound devices (conch, gramophone, megaphone, cell phone). Commissioned by the Young People’s Chorus of NYC. <br />O Pastor Animarum (Bingen)<br />Antiphon chant by Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179), a visionary abbess, composer, and mystic of the 12th century. Features site-specific sounds, including the organ and tower church bells of the Church of the Ascension.<br />O Viridissima Virga (Hail, O Greenest Branch) (Bingen)<br />An antiphon chant by Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179), newly arranged and innovated with modern day instruments and found sounds -- using voice, organ, piano, Buddabox II, turntable, cell phone, chimestix, and more. <br />Father Time (Yoon)<br />A chance operation piece featuring multiple phasing metronomes – outlining arrhythmia, and the various moving components of time. <br />Sons Nouveaux (Yoon)<br />A multi-instrumental soundscape using voice, viola, megaphone, Morse code, and walkie-talkie. An impressive soundscape that builds and culminates into a soaring stratosphere of sound, timbre, and acoustics. From the acclaimed solo CD ( (( PHONATION )) ).<br />Bangkok (Yoon)<br />A dark multiphonic soundscape featuring Subwoofing Spoons -- a custom-built original instrument, designed by Bora Yoon with Brooklyn’s League of Electronic Musicians & Urban Robots (LEMUR) during her Spring residency, that gives bass hits worthy of a dance hall. Inspired by the sounds and sensations felt from recent travels to Bangkok, Thailand. <br />New work(s): (Yoon)<br />A new song cycle featuring voice accompanied by the Buddhabox, a lo-fi speaker instrument used for meditation, used by Brian Eno, along with other sonic sundries.<br /><br />New York Polyphony and Bora Yoon<br />Beata viscera – Perotinus (c. 1200-?)<br />Puis qu’on oubli – Guillaume de Machaut (c. 1300-1377)<br />Vos qui admiramini/Gratissima virgini/Gaude gloriosa – Phillippe DeVitry (c. 1291-1361)<br />Ma fin est mon commencement – Machaut<br />Lamentations of Jeremiah – Thomas Crecquillon (c. 1505-1557)</i>blsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11760886.post-61848517074186286652011-04-21T16:38:59.732-04:002011-04-21T16:38:59.732-04:00Thanks, Luis; I wonder who, then?

There are some features in both melody and harmony that don't fit in his style, but more in the franco-flemish. i.e. the rhythm in 0:40, the "harmony" of 1:25-...Luís Henriqueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17009395881240821904noreply@blogger.com
