Notre Dame de Grace
author: Fr. Louis
If we could only hear the angels with whom we join our voices in praise of God\'s majesty in the Mass. Surely this is how they would sound.

Stunning!
author: Irvin Smith
There isn\'t really much more to say; this music is both soothing and inspiring. A great addition to your collection of polyphony. Great background for prayer or for quiet meditation.

If you loved their first CD...
author: jeffrey tucker
...you have to hear this one. Like their last CD, they manage to unite scholarship, performance excellence, and accessibility. It explores a greater range of repertoire, including Renaissance polyphony (Victoria, Palestrina, Morley, Morales), which is precisely the music I was aching to hear them sing after listening to their first CD. I\'m not sure that there is anything else like this on the market: women\'s voices taking on this music with vigor and excellence. There are revelations here too, such as Portum in ultimo and Machaut\'s Quand j\'ay l\'espart. There is not a note out of place. It is very inspiring CD too, not only for women who aspire to sing this music but for anyone interested to see how this early music can speak to us so magnificently in our time.
