We have a choirmaster who is simply a genius. He knows all about this stuff. I had never even heard of Josquin . . .
A conductor was recording a work by Gabrielli in Venice's St Mark's Cathedral. Like so many pieces of the era, it was written in C. It didn't quite sound right, so on a hunch, recognizing that tone frequencies differed from city to city, he transposed it down to F. The result was that the cathedral turned into a sounding board, and the work resonated with the frequency of the building. He learned a lesson from that experience.
