Stile Antico sings O Mors Inevitablis by Vinders

'O Mors Inevitablis' by Hieronymus Vinders, a lament for the composer Josquin des Prez, who died exactly 500 years ago today. The text reads:
O ineluctable death, bitter death, cruel death,
when you killed Josquin Desprez, you took from us a man
who, through his music, adorned the church.
And therefore, O musician, say: 'May he rest in peace.'
