Johannes Mangon (c. 1525-1578): Missa Ne abscondas me Domine (SATB)

Johannes Mangon was a Flemish composer. The only sources of his music are three manuscript choirbooks in the Aachen Cathedral (Germany).  The first book (D-AAm Chorbuch I) contains nineteen masses, the second one (D-AAm Chorbuch II) motets by Mangon and other composers (forty five of these motets are by Mangon) and the third one (D-AAm Chorbuch III) has several hymns.

Our first edition from the Mangon Choirbooks is the beautiful Missa Ne abscondas me Domine, based on the homonym motet by Clemens non Papa (also available here). This is the earliest mass with a date in the manuscript (1st November 1567), and it shows Mangon's excellent technique and expresiveness.
