The Brabant Ensemble presents another exciting find: a hugely neglected composer from the 16th century. Although relatively little is known about Dominque Phinot's life, his compositional output was considerable both in volume and quality. The five-voice motets of his Liber primus mutetarum demonstrate his outstanding polyphonic skills and the Liber secundus contains five eight-voice works that are unique in the mid-sixteenth century in their treatment of double-choir dialogue. These works, of which four are included in this recording, are the antecedents of the resplendent Venetian polychoral tradition of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries.
