Catalogue Note
Nicolas Gombert était "l'un des trois compositeurs de musique polyphonique sacrée les plus importants durant la période délimitée par Josquin et Lassus" (G. Reese, Music in the Renaissance, 1959, p.343) ; il fut probablement l'élève de Josquin. Ses oeuvres les plus importantes sont ses messes et surtout ses motets, dont l'un fut par la suite pris pour modèle par Monteverdi.
