Graham Ross and the Choir of Clare College, Cambridge celebrate the 500th anniversary of Palestrina’s birth in style, recording for the very first time an album of outstanding works by the Roman master that are still little-known. To add resonance to their program, they pair settings of the same texts by three of Palestrina’s English contemporaries: William Byrd, Robert White, and William Mundy.
