Harmonia Mundi: HMU907419

Music for Compline

Vocal ensemble Stile Antico made its harmonia mundi début last year with a programme of 16th- and 17th-century polyphony written by some of England's greatest composers for the office of Compline, last of the daily hours and a form of night prayer.

It went on to become one of the year's best sellers and achieved worldwide critical acclaim.

The group's new disc Heavenly Harmonies is out this week featuring the music of Byrd and Tallis and looks set to sell equally well.
