Capilla Flamenca
Encyclopedia
Capilla Flamenca is a vocal and instrumental early music consort based in Leuven
, Belgium
. The group specialises in 14th to 16th Century music from Flanders and takes its name from the choir of the court chapel of Emperor Charles V. When the emperor left Flanders in 1517, he took his best musicians with him to Spain to accompany him as "living polyphony".

) and Dirk Snellings (Bass), who is also the group’s artistic director, and a musicologist.
For each performance, the vocal core is enlarged either with complementary singers, an alta capella of wind instruments, a bassa capella of string instruments and/or an organ according to the needs of the genre. Among the singers, Psallentes

, focusing on the music of around 1500. Recordings and performances of religious and profane works by Pierre de la Rue
, Josquin des Prez
, Heinrich Isaac
, Johannes Prioris
, Jacob Obrecht
, to name just a few, have been executed since the ensemble’s formation in the 1980s. Over the years, the group’s interest has expanded to include earlier music, most notably the so-called Ars Nova
and Ars Subtilior
of the 14th century.
The group’s recordings and performances are characterised by musicological research and by attention to authentic performance. Capilla Flamenca's analysis is based on a study of the original sources, in co-operation with fellow musicologists . This includes solving the typical conundrums of early music, such as the use of musica ficta
, the problem of text-setting , the correct use of mensural proportions, the decoding of canons
and the authentic pronunciation of French, Flemish and Latin
.
In 2005, the ensemble confronted Jacob Obrecht’s music with video artist Walter Verdin’s view on the famous The Garden of Earthly Delights
by Hieronymus Bosch. More recently, in collaboration with contemporary music ensemble Het Collectief, the Capilla Flamenca created 12X12, a programme combining Karl-Heinz Stockhausen’s Tierkreis
with Ars Nova

From 2005 to 2007, Marnix De Cat worked with a group of boys and girls (pueri) in order to introduce them to polyphony. Like the 15th- and 16th-century choristers, the young singers were instructed by the magister puerorum (master of the choristers) in the rules of music and the art of singing through simple songs and plainsong
