Title Note

This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.

In the Old Testament book "Song of Songs," two lovers describe their passion and praise each other's beauty in richly metaphoric language full of suggestive images from nature. The poetry, sensuous and at times erotic, was usually interpreted as an allegory of the love between God and his faithful. In the sixteenth century, when the works on this album were composed, the Beloved was often envisioned as the Virgin Mary, and the line between secular and sacred love for her was sometimes shaded ambiguously. The text's receptiveness to Marian devotion, in a time when there was a virtual cult dedicated to her, may explain its considerable popularity among Renaissance composers. The polyphonic settings sampled on this recording reflect a variety of approaches. While some compositions utilize the original text, others use contemporary poetry adapted from it, in music that ranges from simple four-part settings to complex polychoral ones.
