    Firminus Caron (fl.1460–1475): EMS 24 January

    Little is known about the 15th Century French composer Firminus Caron - even his date of birth and first name are in doubt. The Huelgas Ensemble performs a selection of his choral music, in a recording made at the 2015 Wallonie Festival in Namur.

    Roehre, where are you?

    The Huelgas Ensemble is (I think) always worth hearing.

    Medieval French composer and I've never knowingly heard the name before

    Add: Quite a long article on Caron, Philippe [Firmin] in Grove.
    It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

      It seems to me to be an interesting contradiction to have the singers using partbooks (as appeared to be the case) if you're then going to have a conductor, who must (one imagines) be using a score.
