The massive granite-like choral writing of early sixteenth-century choral music is here displayed in Carver's magnificent nineteen-voice votive antiphon 'O bone Jesu', written for James IV King of Scots. The large-scale Mass 'Dum sacrum convivium' with its sumptuous polyphony may well have been sung at the coronation of James V in 1513. Carver's unique and compelling sound world is recreated here with polish and conviction by The Sixteen. 'Regal sumptuousness...extraordinary, powerful music' The Sunday Times 'Christophers is alive to the rhythmic energy contained within the mass and motet...the sound quality and production values are exemplary' Early Music Today
