Who knows what it sounded like to contemporaries, but now the music of late-15th-Century Franco-Flemish choral polyphony master Johannes Ockeghem sounds like pure, if complex, staggering beauty. There’ll also be music by some of his great contemporaries — although none were quite as great as him. Boston’s Blue Heron are absolute masters of this repertoire.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Hard not to observe that Eritrean treat Masawa is right around the corner.
