Jacob Obrecht's Missa Maria Zart remains one of the most fascinating riddles in all of Renaissance music, due to its sheer length and the composer's seemingly inexhaustible play with the melody on which it is based. We'll hear the Netherlands-based ensemble Cappella Pratensis perform this incomparable work, in a live recording from the Music Before 1800 concert series in New York, plus insights from artistic director Stratton Bull.
