From the liner notes: "New York Polyphony has assembled a programme of sacred vocal music composed largely by Franco-Flemish composers active in the first half of the 16th century, exploring from a number of perspectives the themes of grief, loss and mortality.

New York Polyphony is establishing a reputation as one of the world's finest vocal chamber ensembles. Praised for a 'rich, natural sound that's larger and more complex than the sum of its parts' (National Public Radio), the four men deliver dynamic performances in a wide range of styles."
