The a cappella choral music of late Renaissance Spanish composer Francisco Guerrero has benefited from a variety of new recordings, but most have touched on his motets, clear, often somber works in the classic Spanish style. His masses are not so common, so this fine recording from the British group the Cardinall's Musick is especially welcome. The five-part Missa congratulamini mihi sounds less like Guerrero's contemporary Palestrina than like Josquin; it has a very attractive combination of joyous intensity (it is an Easter piece) and perfect clarity. The work is a so-called parody mass, meaning that it reworks a preexisting piece, which is, often, as here, a motet, but sometimes a secular chanson or simply a tune. The model here is a motet by French composer Thomas Crecquillon; it immediately follows the mass, and the interested listener can easily follow the rather dense web of correspondences between the two works. All the music can be enjoyed as well at a less technical level, and the sound of Spanish music often works very well in readings by British choirs, especially in small ones like the Cardinall's Musick, with about a dozen mixed-gender adult singers who let you hear the grain of their voices but combine with total smoothness. The booklet notes are in English, German, and French, but the motet texts are translated only into English from Latin.

Album review
The a cappella choral music of late Renaissance Spanish composer Francisco Guerrero has benefited from a variety of new recordings, but most have touched on his motets, clear, often somber works in the classic Spanish style. His masses are not so common, so this fine recording from the British group the Cardinall's Musick is especially welcome. The five-part Missa congratulamini mihi sounds less like Guerrero's contemporary Palestrina than like Josquin; it has a very attractive combination of joyous intensity (it is an Easter piece) and perfect clarity. The work is a so-called parody mass, meaning that it reworks a preexisting piece, which is, often, as here, a motet, but sometimes a secular chanson or simply a tune. The model here is a motet by French composer Thomas Crecquillon; it immediately follows the mass, and the interested listener can easily follow the rather dense web of correspondences between the two works. All the music can be enjoyed as well at a less technical level, and the sound of Spanish music often works very well in readings by British choirs, especially in small ones like the Cardinall's Musick, with about a dozen mixed-gender adult singers who let you hear the grain of their voices but combine with total smoothness. The booklet notes are in English, German, and French, but the motet texts are translated only into English from Latin.
