By choosing to anchor Boston Early Music Festival’s St. Paul’s Church, Cambridge concert in the music of a composer who was poised historically between Josquin des Pres before him and Palestrina after him, the savvy Director of the Tallis Scholars, Peter Phillips, vividly called our attention to the aesthetic fertility of Franco-Flemish Art.
