"... in the end, the identity of the composer is less important than the music itself: sophisticated, modern, challenging and expressive, it deserves to be heard and appreciated alongside the greatest works of the 16th century."
- The Guardian
Musica Secreta continues its mission to discover and interpret repertoire for and by early modern women with this world premiere recording of 16 motets from the mysterious anonymous 1543 publication Musica quinque vocum: motteta materna lingua vocata that may have been written by Suor Leonora d’Este, daughter of Duke Alfonso I of Ferrara and his duchess, Lucrezia Borgia. These extraordinary anonymous motets are the earliest published pieces that can be connected directly to the famous musical convents of Renaissance Italy. The material seems to make clear why those who flocked to hear the nuns sing compared their music to the mysterious and celestial sound of angels, calling them the finest musicians in all Italy. The ensemble is joined on this revelatory programme by its sister choir, Celestial Sirens.
