Nicolas Gombert's suave, inventive polyphonies unite
sensuous musical expression with the frankly sensual texts of
the biblical Song of Songs in music, which honors the Blessed
Virgin via the celebration of earthly passion.

Thrones, Powers, Principalities, Cherubim and Seraphim:

Ceremonial Music for Maximilian II
and his family
Jacob Vaet (c.1524-1567)

November 18, 2006
Heroic texts set to Jacob Vaet's glorious ceremonial music
filled the Viennese Hofkapelle of Emperor Maximilian II.
Unrivalled as a composer of eloquent tributes and heartfelt
memorials, we invite you to join Polyhymnia as we
reintroduce this regrettably forgotten composer.
