Product description

Immerse yourself in the sacred and intricate world of John Sheppard with the captivating album "Sheppard: Media vita & Other Sacred Music." Released in 2017 under the Hyperion label, this collection showcases the profound and expressive works of one of the most renowned composers of the English Renaissance. The album spans a comprehensive 21 tracks, with a total duration of 1 hour and 19 minutes, offering a rich tapestry of sacred music that is both hauntingly beautiful and technically masterful.

The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "Media vita," a six-voice antiphon that sets the tone for the rest of the collection. This piece, along with the elaborate "Missa Cantate," is celebrated for its expressive harmonies and intricate polyphony, showcasing Sheppard's unparalleled skill in crafting sacred music. The "Missa Cantate" alone is a tour de force, featuring multiple movements that highlight the choir's virtuosity and the composer's genius.

In addition to these standout pieces, the album includes the joyful "Gaude, gaude, gaude Maria," a series of five movements that celebrate the Virgin Mary. This piece, along with the other works on the album, demonstrates Sheppard's ability to convey deep spiritual meaning through his music.

Performed by the esteemed Westminster Cathedral Choir under the direction of Martin Baker, this album is a testament to the enduring power of Sheppard's music. The choir's precise and emotive performances bring Sheppard's compositions to life, making this album a must-listen for anyone interested in the rich tradition of sacred choral music. Whether you are a seasoned enthusiast of Renaissance music or a newcomer to the genre, "Sheppard: Media vita & Other Sacred Music" offers a deeply rewarding listening experience that highlights the timeless beauty of John Sheppard's work.
