The Scholars manage to keep the texture light, without sacrificing anything in the way of richness. It is a very skilful, immediately attractive setting. Even more impressive are the seven motets that make up the rest of the programme. They show off Guerrero's confidence in handling a variety of scorings, formal strategies and moods: the penitential in Usquequo, Domine and Hei mihi, Domine, and the celebratory in the concluding Regina caeli, of which the singers give a particularly resonant performance.
