Music of Machaut & Dufay
Isorhythm is a compositional technique characterized by the extension of the rhythmic texture (talea) of an initial section to the entire composition, despite the variation of corresponding melodic features (color). The first great master of the isorhythmic motet was Guillaume de Machaut (c. 1300–77), followed a century later by the other Great Guillaume, Dufay (c. 1400-74) of Burgundy.
Gregorian Singers is joined by instrumentalists Ginna Watson, Bruce Jacobs, and Julie Elhard under the direction of Monte Mason.
