composed by Anonymous, 11th century French Polyphony, Anonymous, Notre Dame School, Gregorian Chant, Pérotin

Tonus Peregrinus is a group of expert singers who come together once in awhile to attack a special project, this one being Léonin/Pérotin: Sacred Music from Notre-Dame Cathedral in Naxos' early music series. Any attempt to perform or record twelfth century polyphony requires some ingenuity in preparing a text that remains musical, yet makes ...

composed by Arvo Pärt

This double-disc survey of Arvo Pärt's distinctive oeuvre covers his most popular choral pieces, but also presents enough of his early work to provide a reasonably accurate portrait of a composer who has passed through several eventful decades and made several adjustments in his style. A few of Pärt's more experimental pieces are presented here, ...

Dunstable: Sweet Harmony - Masses and Motets

Dunstable: Sweet Harmony - Masses and Motets (2005) more music like this

performed by Joanna Forbes (soprano), Kathryn Oswald (alto), Rebecca Hickey (soprano), Tonus Peregrinus
composed by John Dunstable

English composer John Dunstable was the Beethoven of the fifteenth century, a transitional figure whose work swept away all that went before it. Nevertheless, it has not been the easiest thing to enjoy Dunstable's music in a current context, and that is not for lack of love on the part of scholars and early music ensembles. Although English, very ...

Orlando Gibbons: Hymns and Songs of the Church

Orlando Gibbons: Hymns and Songs of the Church (2006) more music like this

performed by Antony Pitts (organ), Tonus Peregrinus
composed by Alexander L'Estrange, Antony Pitts, John Michael Pitts, Orlando Gibbons, Richard James Pitts

The vocal group Tonus Peregrinus, led by Antony Pitts, has maintained an amazingly consistent average of quality through five releases for Naxos. Orlando Gibbons: Hymns and Songs of the Church appears to be its first "miss," and it doesn't do so on the basis of the singing and performances -- these are still great -- so much as what's inside the ...

Antony Pitts: Alpha and Omega

Antony Pitts: Alpha and Omega (2008) more music like this

performed by Alexander Hickey (tenor), Francis Brett (bass), Rebecca Hickey (soprano), Tonus Peregrinus (choir, chorus)
composed by Antony Pitts

One of the things that makes the sacred a cappella work of Antony Pitts (born in 1969) stand out from that of the many excellent emerging choral composers of his generation is his fearless defiance of harmonic and melodic conventions; just when you think he's heading for an easy landing, he veers off into unexpected, exhilaratingly wild territory. ...

With the compilation Time of the Templars, Naxos continues its practice of repackaging material from its catalog in thematic collections that should have broad appeal. The Order of the Knights Templar flourished in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, and this collection features music that would have been part of the culture of the time, even ...
