"Very little is known about the composer Bernhard Ycart, whose version of the Lamentationes Hieremiæ Prophetæ is premiered on this CD. Josquin Desprez (c.1440-1521) and Heinrich Isaac (c.1450-1517) are the great musical names of the period around 1500. All three composers were of Franco-Flemish origin. Wilfried Rombach leads the ensemble officium in these 2002 recordings."
