This recording consist of a miscellany—works from the High and Late Renaissance as well as the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, representing a selection of the music performed by Ensemble Gombert on its 2004 tour to Europe. It provides a wonderful ‘sampler’ of the diversity of styles the Ensemble is able to sing, and a wonderful record of an unforgettable year in the Ensemble’s history.
