Restoring Obrecht's Scaramella Mass

Hannah French welcomes musicologist and composer, Fabrice Fitch, and director of the Binchois Consort, Andrew Kirkman, to learn about their recent reconstruction of Jacob Obrecht's Scaramella Mass.

Preserved in Krak贸w, only two of the original partbooks of Obrecht's Missa Scaramella remain, meaning the descant and tenor parts had to be supplied in their entirety. We'll learn about the process of this restoration and hear the Binchois Consort performing this long-forgotten Flemish masterpiece from the early Renaissance.
