The Sixteen, Harry Christophers “A tiny soundbite of heaven.” The Times “The Sixteen are on fine form in a repertory that often sees them at their most confident: Parson's Ave Maria, the best-known work here, is despatched with considerable polish, and White's five-part Lamentations are equally fluent (and what wonderful settings they are!). ” Gramophone Magazine, June 2008 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Parsons - First Great Service & Responds for the Dead
Voces Cantabiles, Barnaby Smith This recording aims to provide Robert Parsons, who died tragically in his forties, with a memorial service he never received and aid his return to a place alongside the greatest English Renaissance composers. · Movements from the First Great Service, scored for two antiphonal choirs, provide the core of this ‘remembrance service’ for Robert Parsons. In scale and polyphonic grandeur the work maintains the old Catholic tradition, while making use of the new Protestant liturgy with its revolutionary setting of the 1549 English texts. Interspersed between movements of the First Great Service are a number of pieces taken from the Responds for the Dead, set to Latin texts. The Magnificat, which opens this recording, is the largest-scale single work that Parsons wrote. “The music’s lines become majestically entangled; cadences process without any resolution; solemn musings suddenly switch to a dance or brawl: here is the 17th century’s avant-garde.” The Times on the music of Robert Parsons “A useful recital gives a broader view of the composer of the famous Ave Maria.” Gramophone Magazine, April 2008 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

| |  | I Sing the Birth
The landscape traversed on this disc is broad, from twelfth-century conductus to a twentyfirst-century carol, though the musical centre is firmly polyphonic and rooted in the late medieval world. From the meditative simplicity of plainsong, Polyphony’s diverse voices burst forth as a resplendent flowering of music itself, in expressions of joy and wonder, in contemplation and exuberance alike. “The four male members of New York Polyphony… are the core performers, augmented as necessary by a trio of female voices, the crystalline purity of the soprano contribution to Kenneth Leighton's setting of the famous 'Coventry Carol' being particularly affecting. They sing most alluringly, superior technique a given but never flaunted, the focus squarely on communicating the deeply emotional wellsprings of much of this music.” BBC Music Magazine, December 2007 ***** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
