This recording is also available as part of a 3-disc set, "With Joyful Voice - Christmas Music of Eight Centuries," Nonesuch catalog number 79303. Liner Note Author: Joel Cohen . Editors: Jack Vad; Larry Rock. This album offers the listener a superb collection of 15th to 17th century sacred Christmas music. The melodies of the Camerata and the voices of the Schola Cantorum of Boston regale us with the Midnight Mass of Charpentier, his Noels for instruments, the short, jewel-like antiphon "Hodie Christus Natus Est," psalms and motets of Monteverdi, a cantata of Purcell, and other selections. The polyphonic church music is accompanied by the soft woodwinds of flute and recorder, violin, viola da gamba, and organ. The scholarly, meticulously-crafted compositions are part of the vast treasury of baroque church music that relies on contrast for its dramatic effect. ~ MusD
