Cut Circle: Micropolyphony – Josquin’s Experiments with Scale

Cut Circle presents 187 syllables in ninety seconds, seventy-four names in eight minutes, and other time-squeezing music from around 1500. The program includes a newly completed motet by Josquin des Prez’s contemporary Jean Richafort, reconstructed from fragmentary sources.

The performance will feature a virtual historical acoustical environment as part of a collaboration between CCRMA (Stanford) and the VALSOUNDS project (University of Oxford/KU Leuven). The event is made possible by the Shenson Fund, CCRMA, the Department of Music, CMEMS, and the France-Stanford Center.
