Forest

Although identity is difficult and his `christian’ name is doubtful, Forest worked in the region of Winchester and was probably operating towards the Bishop. His name can be connected with Chirst Cathedral in Canterbury. Features from the music related to Forest included textual clearness, simple but ornamented strains, as well as the continual existence of parallel thirds in conjunction with parallel sixths. Metrical distinctiveness was sparse in his configurations that are dominated by isorhythmic tendencies. A unique characteristic inside a Credo by Forest was a protracted duet for the descant and contratenor parts.
