Josquin was a Flemish musician from the fifteenth century, with a career that took him across Europe back and from France and Italy. His sound is very familiar, if you've at all visited Westminster Cathedral and stopped at the gift shop. The following piece is composed probably for Corpus Christi Mass, for it is entitled Pange lingua, after Saint Thomas' famous hymn to the Blessed Sacrament.
