Cover for Phinot: Missa Si bona suscepimus

Phinot: Missa Si bona suscepimus

The young Oxford choir turns its immaculate ensemble, lucid diction and faultless tuning to an exciting find: a hugely neglected composer from the 16th century. Relatively little is known about Dominique Phinot's life - there is a suggestion that he was executed for homosexual practices, cutting short a productive and impressive composing career. Phinot's output consists of over a hundred motets, two Masses, and settings of Vesper Psalms and the Magnificat, as well as two books of French chansons and two Italian madrigals.
