Not long after my Dad died, and as a distraction, my much older brother took me to sing in the small Catholic choir he sang with in Peckham, S London. That was 1962, and this was the first motet I learned. I was 15. This performance is a benchmark, well done. Beata Viscera still moves me to tears...oh, that Alleluia... thank you for bringing it all back...Byrd wrote such glorious tenor lines...

The legato and blend in this ensemble gets better and better. Great sustaining - something Voces8 have excelled at and not easy for OVPP ensembles.

What a breathtaking performance, so different from Beata Viscera by Perotin le Grand, the voices are "Heavenly", as if connected to the Divine dimension! This performance is so exceptional that one has the impression that this Choir opens the way to Celestial Ascension, a "Stairway to Heaven" for our Redemption to all!
