Swiss composer Ludwig Senfl began his career as a choirboy in the Hofkapelle of Emperor Maximilian I, became the protege of one of the greatest composers of his time, and rose to the status of imperial court composer while still a young man. We'll hear examples of Senfl's sacred music, plus some of his unique, very personal secular songs.
