Factum est silentium

EnglishFrançaisDeutsch

Factum est silentium is an extended and dramatic treatment of the Michaelmas story of the archangel’s fight with the dragon. Mouton takes every opportunity to paint the story in vivid terms, with striking use of homophony in several places, as well as contrapuntal skill and very varied harmony for this period.
