| Renaissance and Baroque choral music: Allegri, Bach, Mozart, Palestrina, Taverner, Vivaldi and other composers. These performances were chosen primarily for their extraordinary beauty, and high attunement. Many of the selections are very unusual. The first sample is from a motet by Tomas Luis de Victoria, the greatest Spanish composer of the High Renaissance. The second is from the Sanctus by Josquin des Pres. and finally the lovely Beatitudes by Samuel Barber. |  |
