Cornysh, Turges, Prentes: Latin Church Music

Released

The early Tudor composer William Cornysh was the son of a different William Cornysh, who was also a composer, leading to some confusion as to which one is responsible for the music on this particular disc of sacred works in Latin — one of the conductors on this recording believes it is, in fact, the elder Cornysh. The astringent, late-Ars-Nova flavor of the harmonies would seem to support this idea. In any case, the music is gorgeous and so is the singing by The Cardinall’s Musick under Andrew Carwood and David Skinner.
