Program: #04-47 Air Date: Nov 15, 2004
NOTE: All of the music on this program is by the great Swiss composer Ludwig Senfl (c.1486-1542/3).
Preservation of this program is made possible by a generous grant from Philip Stoffregen.
He went from being a choirboy in the chapel of Emperor Maximilian I in Innsbruck to chief court composer; after the emperor's death he wound up at the court of Duke Albrecht of Bavaria. The performances are by the ensemble Fretwork joined by tenor Charles Daniels, and are on the Harmonia Mundi label: CD # HMU 907334.
Support for these programs comes in part from PRS, Presence Switzerland; with additional support from Swiss Radio, Pro Helvetia, and the Embassy of Switzerland in Washington, D.C.
