The Geese Book, named after an illumination showing a choir of geese directed by a wolf, is the only complete source for the pre-Reformation liturgy of the Mass in Nuremberg. The architecture, artistic furnishings and music of the two late-Gothic parish churches reflected the city’s wealth and self-confidence. This recording presents selected chants from feast days of particular significance to the church of St Lorenz and to the city of Nuremberg, interspersed with organ music by South German and Nuremberg composers. Of special note is the Feast of the Holy Lance and Nails, the most important feast day in Nuremberg during the years from 1424 to 1524.
