"A sympathetic and commendable attempt to show the ‘sacred side’ of composers mainly known for their secular music." Johan van Veen, The Music Web October 2004
Well-known and universally admired as some of the greatest composers of madrigals, Marenzio, Wert and Rore were also the authors of some of the most stunning motets of their age. With this disc, Rutgers Collegium Musicum explores that legacy in performances of some of the most beautiful music of the High Renaissance. This is a recording for anyone with a love of choral music and its expressive capacity to bring out the deepest meanings of elegant texts.
