More seriously: this mass consists of anonymus (mass-)movements I guess?
From which centuries do the stem? 12th, 13th?
I am asking, as there is an excellent 2CD-set (on Virgin, titled "Millennium") with tropes and mass-movements from the 11th - 13th C plus motets by Jehan de Lescurel (end 13th C) which might interest you.

I posted this in the previous Listening thread, but wasn't sure if you got this, Roehre:

(I could be early! ) As for the Mass, I do not have much information on it; this is a CD set I picked up separate from the Norton anthology, but I am guessing it is probably from the 11th or 12th Century. This CD set (6 CD's) had been sitting on the shelf for some time and with the Renaissance thread I recalled I had them. There is Leonin's Viderunt Omnes, which is of particular interest to me. I didn't quite make it that far this morning, but later I should get the chance to finish this out.

[Roehre]

Thanks Sorrano.

This morning it was Salieri's Nameday Symphony. The last movement reminded me of Haydn more than Mozart.

[Michael]

Spent a nice sunny afternoon - sitting outside, surrounded by trees, birds and barking dogs - listening to possibly the second-greatest composer of all time.
His piano concertos No. 17 in G (K453) and 20 in D minor (K466).
Lovely.
Didn't even feel the need to put on some you-know-who afterwards.

Could you please recommend something to calm down an very irate cook? About one hour ago I dropped my roast chicken with roast potatoes on the kitchen floor. This has nothing to do with any wine I may have been drinking. Pure clumsiness, and the first time this has ever happened to me. Fat everywhere. I will not repeat the curses I spat out. So here I am, on a fine and sunny holiday Friday, stuck in the flat, cleaning, cleaning and ... cursing.

Sorry to hear of your mishap, I do hope there was enough left over for your seconds.

Sounds like you could use some of this for calming the nerves.

With reference to the icon, Megan : Do you happen to grow any in your garden? I'll take a few grams, if you do. Brown envelope, please. Cash in the usual way (look out for the chalk mark near your post box).
