The Sweetest Songs: Music From The Baldwin Partbooks Iii

Part of a series devoted by the choir Contrapunctus to the Baldwin Partbooks, a major repository of 16th century English polyphony, this album focuses on the little-known genre of the psalm motet, which, as the name suggests, includes psalms set in polyphonic motet style. Except for the pieces by William Byrd, the music here is little known, with more than half of the pieces receiving their world premieres. - AllMusic
