Ottaviano Petrucci was a printer working in Venice at the turn of the 16th century. He revolutionized the distribution of music and cultivated a taste for the Franco-Flemish style in Italy with the publication of Harmonice Musices Odhecaton in 1501. We'll hear selections from this trailblazing collection, including music by Josquin, Obrecht, de la Rue, and Heinrich Isaac, including performances by Fretwork and Les Flamboyants.
