    Information

    (This text has been automatically translated by Google translate)
    In the Renaissance, many artists were concerned with questions about human mortality, the transience of life. These themes can also be found in Walter Raleigh's poem, set to music by Orlando Gibbons "What is our life": the title of this CD. Many lamentations and elegies appeared during this period. Some of these have been recorded on CD by the Cambridge Taverner Choir conducted by Owen Rees. Youmore
