On Wednesday 6 March 1482, Mary of Burgundy went hunting on horseback with her falcon. The horse stumbled on a jump over a ditch. Mary fell and died of her injuries a few weeks later. Little decisions and a touch of fate can have a huge impact. But things dont always end badly. Are you hunting for musical ideas? Do you prefer dancing? Or might a painting by Hans Memling catch your eye? ‘Cadentes’ means ‘the falling ones’… and in this case we’re falling for music. This is the closing presentation that follows the music holiday for children aged 6 to 14.

Patrizia Bovi whisks you off to 15th century Florence, bringing many different aspects of the music of the age to life. There is music as the source of religious inspiration based on texts by Savonarola, a monk and hellfire preacher of the end of Christianity. He was notorious for his fiery anti-Renaissance sermons, book burnings and the destruction of works of art, known as the bonfire of the vanities. But there is also space on the programme music as entertainment in the Italian palazzi, and music in the spirit of Lorenzo I de’ Medici and his ‘Carnevale’.

The music you will hear includes Johannes Ockeghem’s famous Intemerata Dei mater and the glorious Ave Maria … Virgo serena by Josquin des Prez.

The theme that runs through this concert is Walter Frye’s Missa Flos Regalis, a piece from the Burgundian choirbook (Br. 5557). The Binchois Consort performs this magnificent, four-part polyphonic mass alongside 15th century motets in an ode to Mary of Burgundy.
