Active in Venice and Padua at the beginning of the 15th century, Johannes Ciconia is undoubtedly the most important composer of this period of transition. Originally from Liège, nourished by the principles of the French and Italian Ars Nova, he played a considerable role in the musical evolution which gradually led to the Renaissance. His work covers all genres of the time: French songs, Italian ballads and madrigals, occasional motets in Latin as well as mass movements that announce the golden age of the genre in the 15th century.
 

This integral is entrusted to two remarkable ensembles well known from the catalogs of Outhere: La Morra for secular music and Diabolus In Musica for religious works and occasional motets.
