The Pillars of Eternity - Eton Choirbook Vol III / The Sixteen

Amazon.com
Volume 3 of this series includes some remarkable items--remarkable even by Eton Choirbook standards. Wylkynson's nine-part "Salve Regina" labels each of the voices as one of the nine orders of angels; Lambe's "Stella cæli" turns a standard petition to the Virgin into a fervent prayer for protection against plague; Davy's lavish "O Domine cæli terræque creator" was (according to a note in the choirbook) written in a single day. Harry Christophers and the Sixteen do their usual admirable job in bringing this music to life--especially in the Eton Choirbook's oddest item: Wylkynson's "Jesus autem transiens/Credo in unum Deum," a canon for 13 tenors setting the Apostles' Creed. --Matthew Westphal

Pretty and relaxing and easy on the ears.......2000-04-16

This is a very pleasant selection of music; "Ah blessed Jesu how fortuned this?" is particularly moving. It's nice and accurately performed without being particularly challenging to the ears; nice background music for falling to sleep to or writing.
