This CD focuses on Pierre de la Rue and his requiem “Missa pro fidelibus defunctis”. The whole programme deals with the finite nature of human beings and the ensemble creates a mood of contemplation, contrasting the requiem with music of our age. Sting’s “Fragile” is just as much a part of this as music by Kurt Weill and Einojuhani Rautavaara. Gospel songs are also included.
