Ave, rosa sine spinis & other sacred music

The Cardinall's Musick and their inspirational director Andrew Carwood present a further volume of their Gramophone-Award-winning series of Tallis's sacred music.

This new album contains some of the most sublime music of the entire period, performed with The Cardinall's Musick's familiar committed, full-blooded and beautiful singing. In including both Tallis's English and Latin settings, it demonstrates the composer's mastery of the changing edicts imposed on him from above in this turbulent time.

Informative and scholarly booklet notes by Andrew Carwood place the music in its historical and liturgical context.
