The English Cornett and Suckbut Ensemble // The Englishman Peter Philips spent most of his life abroad, and was celebrated all over Europe in his day. Despite this, Philips's music has been neglected since his death in 1628 - of his immense output of vocal music, to this day most people know only a handful of motets from the five-voice Cantiones sacrae (1612). The present recording of half of the companion volume of eight-voice motets seeks to remedy this situation.
