Noe Nascoste Eva Alton

Given that not one of the Masses by Jacques Arcadelt was included in our boxed set that revealed his immense musical personality to the world, we now remedy this situation with an indispensable addition. Leonardo Garcia Alarcon chose the Missa Noe Noe, which is presented here in the context of the Christmas liturgy. We have also included motets not only by Arcadelt but also by Josquin Desprez, as he was the great model for musicians of his generation. The recording ends resoundingly with Josquin's imposing Benedicta es coelorum regina for six voices, although in an expanded version for twelve voices by Jean Guyot de Chatelet (1512 - 1588): another Walloon composer to be discovered!

As a child traveling cross-country with his parents, from California to Georgia, young Alton Brown saw first-hand how regional food in America changed with the landscape. The seeds for a future television show were planted on that fateful trip. Several decades later, this experience of a young boy took root as Alton pitched a new travel food show idea to Food Network executives.
