Charlesu2019s grief was profound and can be keenly felt even today thanks to his commissions in memory of his beloved wife. For art Charles turned to Titian, the leading painter of the day, requesting a number of posthumous portraits, including the famous La Gloria which depicts the imperial couple worshipping the Trinity and longing for reconciliation after death. Thomas Crecquillon (about whom virtually nothing is known outside the period of his imperial service) was engaged to create a fitting musical legacy.ru2018Mort mu2019a priveu2019 (u2018Death has deprived meu2019) is an unusually personal text, possibly by the emperor himself, and received two musical settings, one for Charles and one for Isabella. The sublime Mass takes elements from both motets and weaves them into the musical perfection of one-ness for which Charles so yearned.rCrecquillonu2019s versatility as a composer (one could be forgiven for imagining him a somewhat morbid figureu2014Praemia pro validis and Caesaris auspiciis both mark the deaths of imperial generals, while Cur Fernande pater laments the fatal poisoning of a different Isabella, Charlesu2019s neice, the Queen of Poland) is demonstrated by the celebratory Congratulamini mihi (u2018Rejoice with meu2019) that concludes the programme: the Lord is sighted, risen from the tomb, and Charles shall have his Isabella once more.rThe Brabant Ensemble (taking its name from the area of what is now northern Belgium/southern Holland from which so many great sixteenth-century composers originated) was formed by performing musicologist Stephen Rice in 1998 to explore the neglected repertory of sacred music from 1520 to 1560. Comprising fifteen young professional singers, this is the groupu2019s first recording for Hyperion. A 2004 release of music by Clemens non Papa (on the Signum label) won considerable acclaim, and promises us a genuinely new specialist early music choir.
