ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
I
t was the week before the Palm Sunday, March 15, 1345. The
priest of the Oude Kerk went to visit a sick, dying man in
Kalverstraat to hear his confession and administer the
extreme unction and viaticum and had no idea that the
consequences of what he was about to do would still be
remembered more than 6 centuries later and be known as The
Eucharistic Miracle of Amsterdam. What all the accounts seem to
agree on is that the dying man vomited after having received the
Blessed Sacrament, the Host was thrown into fire by his caretakers
but on the following day it was observed it had remained intact.
They called a priest who tried to take it back to the Oude Kerk, but
the Sanctissimum kept returning back. The miracle was promptly
confirmed by the city council as well as officially recognized by the
bishop of Utrecht, Jan van Arkel. Within little more than 2 years, on
October 21, 1347 the chapel Terheylighenstede (The Holy Place,
Locus Sacer) was consecrated by the auxiliary bishop of Utrecht,
Nythardus. The site of the miracle quickly became a very
important pilgrimage destination for the Low Countries and
beyond (with some rather important pilgrims, such as, in about
1484, Archduke Maximilian of Austria, who was later to become
the Holy Roman Emperor). Considering the importance of religion
in the Late Middle Ages as well as the close relationship between
religion on one hand and trade and travel of the peoples on the
other this must have been a very important factor in the rise of
Amsterdam to importance and its flourish.
F
ast forward to early 1500’s. After two fires, in 1421 and 1452,
the chapel is rebuilt as a rather large hall church with 3 naves of
equal height. On the northern end of the transept, on the
Kalverstraat side was the ‘Holy Corner’ (the spot where the miracle
had happened) with the fireplace. While detailed information
about liturgical observances in the Heilige Stede remain sparse,
especially because of the events of the late 16th century, both

Corpus Christi as well as the anniversary of the miracle itself must
have had an important role and been celebrated with great
festivity. (For special occasions there are mentions of the use of
trumpets, shawns and drums in processions) There has been also a
weekly procession in which the Miraculous Host was brought
every Wednesday to the Oude Kerk and back. It is also quite likely,
that as in many other churches in this time, a weekly (if not daily)
votive mass of the Blessed Sacrament was offered here.
T
he only official connection of Pompeius Occo to the chapel of
the Heilige Stede seems to be his tenure as churchwarden
from 1513 to 1518 after which he pursued supposedly politically
more important positions in the Holy Cross Guild and the Nieuwe
Kerk. Occo was an agent of the Fugger firm in Amsterdam, a very
distinctive figure of the merchant elite, a man of learning and
devotion as well as a patron of arts. He lived in the Kalverstraat,
very close to the Heilige Stede, and it has been conjectured that he
retained a special relationship to this institution. Indeed, a poem
composed by Alaard of Amsterdam mourning the death of Occo
singles out his attachment to this chapel and his many material
donations and offerings.
O
ne of these is also the Occo Codex, a large luxurious music
manuscript from the workshop of Petrus Alamire. There is a
very clear liturgical focus on the veneration of the Blessed
Sacrament, to which the first section of the book is dedicated. We
find here 5 settings of O salutaris hostia, Tantum ergo, a
polyphonic introit for Corpus Christi, Cibavit eos, as well as two
masses whose melodic material is taken from chants connected
with Corpus Christi: Hotinet Barra’s Missa Ecce panis angelorum
and Josquin de Pres’ Missa Pange lingua. The second part of the
manuscript consists of five more mass settings and one Requiem.

Our programme is based on the votive Mass of the Blessed
Sacrament (i.e. Missa de Venerabili Sacramento) according
to the Missale for the use of Utrecht printed in 1511 in
Anwerpen. One of the features differentiating it from the standard
Roman use is that the sequence Lauda Sion of Corpus Christi,
which would normally be used only for the feast itself and not in a
votive Mass, does appear here in a shortened form of last four
stanzas. Plainchant tones for the ordinary parts of the Mass (such
as Preface, Pater noster, Ite missa est etc.) are also taken from this
source. Polyphonic responses (Amen, Et cum spiritu tuo etc.)
which seem to have been a common feature of the liturgical and
musical practice in the 16th century come from Codex Smijers,
choirbook of plainchant and polyphony used by the Brotherhood
of Our Illustrious Blessed Lady in ʹs‐Hertogenbosch.
P
lainchant propers (Graduale, Alleluia, Offertorium and
Communio) are taken from an early 16th century Graduale,
currently kept in Museum Catharijneconvent which most probably
originated in the Agnesklooster, Fransiscan friary in Hoorn. It
preserves a notational and melodic variant of Gregorian chant
characteristic for the northern Low Countries.
T
he setting of Cibavit eos which opens the programme is the
only one of the motets in the Occo Codex connected with
eucharistic devotions with a fixed liturgical function, sc. the introit
of Corpus Christi. Consistent with the form of plainchant introit, it
is written in two sections, the antiphon and the psalm verse. While
in the verse, the cantus firmus is mostly to be found in tenor, the
more contrapuntal setting of the antiphon paraphrases the chant in
different, usually at least two, voices. The melodic form of the
plainchant employed points to an origin in Germany or the Low
Countries (East Frankish chant dialect).
J
osquin’s Missa Pange lingua is one of his last Mass settings and
one of four Masses he wrote that are based on plainchant
models, which in this case is a hymn for Corpus Christi by Thomas
Aquinas. The Mass is transmitted in some 26 sources known to us

throughout Europe. Curiously, the Occo codex presents this
composition in an incomplete form. Josquin’s duos for Pleni sunt
and Benedictus have been replaced by other, shorter settings taken
from Missa Es hat ein sinn by Mathieu Gascongne (trio in case of
Benedictus) and the second Agnus dei was left out altogether. It is
possible that Alamire copyists only later obtained a complete
version of this Mass and at the time of copying the Occo Codex
worked with a version that replaced Josquin’s rather long,
sophisticated and soloistically very demanding settings with easier
ones. To present the Mass in its complete form we turned to the
choirbook Munich, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Musiksammlung,
Musica MS 510, possibly copied between 1513 and 1519 from one
of the earliest known copies of this Mass, choirbook MS Cappella
Sistina 16.
F
or the polyphonic settings of Alleluia respond and odd verses
of the sequence we use the choirbook Jena, Thüringer
Universitäts‐ und Landesbibliothek, MS 35 that originally belonged
to the castle church in Wittenberg under Frederick the Wise. It
contains thirteen cycles of polyphonic propers of the Mass,
arranged according to the order of the church year, starting with
Easter. It has been speculated they might have been composed by
Adam Rener, kapellmeister to Frederick the Wise between 1507
and 1517. All of them make exclusive use of strict cantus firmus
technique, chant is presented in tenor in equal breves or
semibreves, without any rest or interpolated notes and notated in
German Hufnagel chant notation.
F
inally, the programme closes with a setting of Tantum ergo.
The text consists of the last two stanzas of the aforementioned
hymn Pange lingua, often used on its own in processions and
Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. Stylistically it seems related
to the setting of Cibavit eos that precedes it in the Occo codex.

ABOUT THE ENSEMBLE
The ensemble Cantores Sancti Gregorii was founded in 2013
by Jan Janovcik as an experimental artistic platform for performance
of early music. The ensemble specializes in sacred
and religious music with a special focus on Gregorian chant and
polyphony inspired therewith. Recognizing the inexhaustible
power of inspiration that can be found in beauty and tradition
Cantores always strive to present sacred music in its integral liturgical
context, its ʹSitz im Lebenʹ, whether that be in a concert or in
an actual liturgical celebration.
T
he ensemble gathers singers who are not afraid to look for
beauty at unexpected places, gives space to both careful study
and use of historical sources as well as the instinctive and subconscious
in improvisation and ornamentation. In the performance of
chant and mediaeval and renaissance polyphony, music that was
often born in violent times, Cantores look for interpretation that is
manly and strong.
I
n 2014 they performed at Canto Aperto festival in Sint Truiden
and also as a part of the Fabulous Fringe series of the Festival
Oude Muziek Utrecht to wide public acclaim.

Lesson from the first letter of St Paul
the Apostle to the Corinthians.
B
rethren: I myself have received
from the Lord ‐ what I also delivered
to you, ‐ that the Lord Jesus, on
the night in which He was betrayed,
took bread, and giving thanks broke,
and said, Take and eat. This is My
Body which shall be given up for you;
do this in remembrance of Me. In like
manner also the cup, after He had
supped, saying, This is the new covenant
in My Blood; do this as often as
you drink it, in remembrance of Me.
For as often as you shall eat this Bread
and drink the cup, you proclaim the
death of the Lord, until He comes.
Therefore whoever eats this Bread or
drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily,

indígne, reus erit córporis et sánguinis
Dómini. Probet autem seípsum homo:
et sic de pane illo edat et de calice bibat.
Qui enim mánducat et bibit indígne,
iudícium sibi mánducat et bibit:
non diiúdicans corpus Dómini.

crowds of the Jews: My Flesh is
food indeed, and My Blood is drink indeed.
He who eats My Flesh, and
drinks My Blood, abides in Me and I in
him. As the living Father has sent Me,
and as I live because of the Father, so
he who eats Me, he also shall live because
of Me. This is the Bread that has
come down from heaven; not as your
fathers ate the manna, and died. He
who eats this Bread shall live forever.

drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily,
will be guilty of the Body and Blood of
the Lord. Alleluia.

Tantum ergo Sacramentum
Veneremur cernui:
Et antiquum documentum
Novo cedat ritui:
Praestet fides supplementum
Sensuum defectui.
Genitori, Genitoque
Laus et iubilatio,
Salus, honor, virtus quoque
Sit et benedictio:
Procedenti ab utroque
Compar sit laudatio.
Down in adoration falling,
Lo! the sacred Host we hail,
Lo! oeʹr ancient forms departing
Newer rites of grace prevail;
Faith for all defects supplying,
Where the feeble senses fail.
To the everlasting Father,
And the Son Who reigns on high
With the Holy Spirit proceeding
Forth from each eternally,
Be salvation, honor blessing,
Might and endless majesty.
