English Catholic music of the 14^th and 15^th centuries, presumed lost during the Reformation, has re-emerged over the centuries and is brought to life again by this renowned British vocal ensemble. The program of stunningly inventive and serene sacred music includes music by Dunstaple, Forest, Plummer and Pyamour, together with works by composers whose names will never be known.
