"Palestrina is the star of the show" but David Smith also appreciates the interleaving of Byrd, White & Mundy settings of the same motets. He describes #ClareCollegeChoir under the leadership of #GrahamRoss as "a choral powerhouse... for such relatively young musicians their assurance and poise is remarkable."
