Vive Le Roi: A Conversation between Josquin des Pres and Henry VIII A Concert by The St. Cecilia Consort
Program:
"Vive Le Roy" by Josquin (1440-1521)
"Pastime With Good Company" by Henry VIII (1491-1547)
"Comment peult avior joye" by Josquin

"Helas madame" by Henry VIII
"In te, Domini, speravi" by Josquin d'Ascanio (fl. circa 1500)
Josquin and Henry VIII comprise a study in contrasts. Their lives overlapped, for the young Henry was doing his composing at the end of Josquin's long, productive life. Josquin was the great professional composer of his day, Henry the accomplished amateur. Josquin was a prince-pleaser who traveled about the Continent; Henry was a prince to be pleased. The last piece, In te Domini, speravi, long attributed to Josquin, is possibly by another composer.
