John Sheppard: Media vita
Composed by: John Sheppard
2010
harmonia mundi
The Tudor composer John Sheppard has languished somewhat in the shadow of his more celebrated contemporaries Thomas Tallis and John Taverner — but as this gorgeous recording by the Oxbridge ensemble Stile Antico demonstrates, his music stands up very well to comparison with any of them. The program includes both Catholic hymns in Latin and English anthems written in a style that adheres to Reformation strictures.
