About
Graham Ross and the Choir of Clare College, Cambridge celebrate the 500th anniversary of Palestrina's birth in style, recording for the very first time an album of outstanding works by the Roman master that are still little-known. To add resonance to their program, they pair settings of the same texts by three of Palestrina's English contemporaries: William Byrd, Robert White, and William Mundy.

February 2025
The Clare College Choir is fairly substantial and they sing in a harmonious and touching manner, as in their reverent account of the chordal textures of Palestrina’s Magnificat and Byrd’s Emendemus in Melius...these enjoyable performances take us further across the vast ocean of Palestrina’s works.
10th January 2025
The opening Magnificat introduces the choir’s relatively light sound, with a clarity that suits polyphony particularly well. There’s little or no vibrato here, but plenty of energy...For such relatively young musicians their assurance and poise is remarkable.
