Catalyst: "Masters of the Renaissance" from Gloriæ Dei Cantores, by Gloriæ Dei Cantores with Elizabeth C. Patterson, Conductor, 79:32 minutes, CD, $16.95
[Source: Paraclete Press] -- This release from Gloriæ Dei Cantores features sacred music from the Renaissance. Each of the European schools of composition -- Italian, Flemish, German, Spanish, and English -- is represented by a total of 20 composers, offering a fascinating cross-section of styles and influences. Great masters such as Lassus, Byrd, and Victoria are featured, as well as lesser-known composers such as Hassler, de Wert, and Nanino. The central work of this recording is the Missa Super Bell Amfitrit Altera by Lassus, generally considered one of his finest works. Other selections include Anerio's tender and stirring Requiem aeternum and William Byrd's Terra tremuit, which has been described as "one of the most dramatic texts in the whole of music."
