"Ascendit Deus" (Peter Phillips) performed by Bella Voce

Peter Philips (1560-1628) was a highly prolific composer, writing much music for choir and virginal. As an ordained Catholic priest, however, he fled England for Flanders, then Rome, then Amsterdam, where he was undoubtedly influenced by Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck. He finally made the acquaintance of Albert VII, Archduke of Austria, Governor of the Low Countries, and settled in Brussels, where he died and is now buried.
Bella Voce, Chicago’s premier professional chamber choir, is renowned for performing choral music, both traditional and contemporary, both sacred and secular, that inspires and exhilarates its audiences. It continues to honor the traditions that won this stellar ensemble so many admirers and supporters over the years while also exploring new repertoire. The ensemble has recorded for Centaur, Harmonia Mundi, Narada, and Cedille Records and also has five self-produced CDs in release.
