The Sarum Consort, Andrew Mackay Peter Philips was the most famous English composer of his time, and only Byrd, a generation older, had more compositions published. Much of Philips’s life was spent on the Continent, where he wrote music of intricate, text-conscious colour, both deeply expressive and architecturally powerful. His motets and anthems, whether celebratory, meditative or dramatic, embrace the widest range of feeling and texture. The much-admired Sarum Consort’s disc All the Queen’s Men (8572582) was praised for its ‘energy and aplomb’. (American Record Guide) “This music is difficult to balance well, but the Sarum Consort, with one voice to a part, achieves plangent harmony, especially in the glorious eight-voice, two-choir motet Ave Regina caelorum. Another advance in our understanding of the rich British choral repertory.” The Observer, 15th January 2012 | | | (also available to download from $6.00) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.

| |  | Ave Virgo Sanctissima
and Gregorian chant: Regina coeli
Gery de Ghersem was a Franco-Flemish composer of the late Renaissance whose works were mostly destroyed in the Lisbon earthquake and fire of 1755. This solitary surviving complete work, Ave Virgo Sanctissima, a mass for 7 voices in polyphonic style. It is based on the "hit" motet of the same name by Guerrero. “The characteristic turns of Guerrero's motet are everywhere recognisable but Ghersem adds extra voices to the scoring of his model. The work shows off Eric van Nevel's ensemble at its best: an organ is included and the resulting texture often had me thinking that there might be more instruments involved...Ghersem's Mass may seldom be recorded again, so we should be grateful that is has been done so well.” Gramophone Magazine, October 2011 | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.

| |  | Music for Mary Volume 2
Richard Lea (organ) The Choir of Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral, Timothy Noon “Most impressive is Timothy Noon's own setting of Salve regina. Partly because this music is so well tailored both for this choir and for the sound it makes in the cathedral, the choir seems to raise its game...The single organ solo is a typical essay in style over substance by Langlais, but delivered with suitable panache by Richard Lea and making a dazzling centrepiece to this thoroughly enjoyable programme.” Gramophone Magazine, April 2011 | | | Usually despatched in 8 - 10 working days. |

| |  | Peter Philips - Cantiones Sacrae, Quinis VocibusFive-part Motets
Tudor Consort, Peter Walls "They (Cantione Sacrae) are beautifully drilled and blended, and led with great sensitivity to the flow of part lines, together with appreciation for the composer's frequent penchant for subdividing his five voices into an approximating of double-choir writing. This release is certainly a welcome contribution, then, to the recognition of Philips's wonderful musical legacy. Full Latin texts with English translations join excellent notes for another Naxos winner that would be a prize even in a higher price-range."
