This splendid recording was made in 2016 and was not released until 2021. Perhaps it finally made it onto shelves and online services to fill vacancies caused by pandemic shortages of product. Whatever the reason, Renaissance music fans may rejoice in its appearance. Part of a series devoted by the choir Contrapunctus to the Baldwin Partbooks, a major repository of 16th century English polyphony, this album focuses on the little-known genre of the psalm motet, which, as the name suggests, includes psalms set in polyphonic motet style. Except for the pieces by William Byrd, the music here is little known, with more than half of the pieces receiving their world premieres. Some of the pieces were missing parts, which were reconstructed by director Owen Rees. Perhaps, as a result, the music was thought to have little commercial potential, but that turned out not to be correct; the album has hit classical sales charts, and it's no wonder. The combination of the subjective, personal form of address of the biblical psalms with contrapuntal artifice is compelling indeed. The music covers much of the 16th century, from Byrd back to John Sheppard (listed to the deliciously pungent dissonances of Confitebor tibi Domine), but it hangs together and was recognized as a single tradition by hearers of the time; the "sweetest songs" designation came from one of Henry VIII's music staff. Contrapunctus always offers solid Renaissance choral performances, but the group and director Rees have outdone themselves here. Specialized the album may be, but anyone will enjoy and be moved by it.
