{"product_id":"gombert-motets","title":"Gombert: Motets","description":"Nicolas Gombert’s compositions, all vocal, are for ensembles of up to twelve parts. • His contrapuntal language is based on that of Josquin, but increasingly complex. • Imitation is used even more consistently than did Josquin, and Gombert’s vocal textures are often densely packed, with individual lines characterized by an avoidance of rests. • A substantial number of his compositions survive, including ten masses, over 160 motets, 60 secular chansons, and a set of eight Magnificats (one in each mode). • The motets on this recording, for 4–6 voices, offer fine representations of Gombert’s musical style.","brand":"Fra Bernardo","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":49704654995736,"sku":"4260307432119","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/2932483.jpg?v=1777703688","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/gombert-motets","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
