On his latest album, the Choir of New College Oxford explores the rich and complex world of William Mundy, a key figure in 16th-century English music. His compositions, characterized by the religious and political upheavals of his time, offer a fascinating mix of intricate harmonies and unexpected textures. From the expansive Vox patris caelestis - a monument of English Renaissance polyphony - to the more intimate O Lord, the maker of all things, Mundy's music reflects both the compositional idioms of his era and the many challenges of it. This remarkable composer is given new lustre in an agreeable performance with the traditional choir of New College and its director Robert Quinney. A true feast for lovers of Renaissance choral music!
