Kyrie Nicholas de Burgundy
Nicholes de Burgundy
In the baptismal records of the Cathredale St. Lazare, Autin (Burgundy) there is mention of a Nicholes de Burgundy
born probably early April 1571.
Little is know of his early life, or where he received his training. He possibly received
his musical tutoring from a former master of the choristers
at St. Lazare, as by the evidence of his few surviving works, he was trained
in the Palestrina school. His slim ouvre survives in but one manuscript, the
Mss.Autin.Res. 127.a, presently in the Bibliteque Nationale. There are two surviving masses (untitled) and six motets, one incomplete.
This Kyrie is taken from the second of the mass settings, and employs as
cantus firmus the chant later to be know as the Missa da Angelus
(a nineteenth century moniker). This arrangement approximates the
performance style of Alternatim, used in a number of different ways
throughout Europe at the time. It provides today, an ideal way of forming a
fruitful liturgical dialogue between the Congregation, Choir and Cantor.
Ed. note; some of the texural underlay is conjectural and unclear in the mss.
