TUDOR CITY

For the follow-up to their critically acclaimed Avie Records debut I sing the birth, New York Polyphony mines the sacred music of Tudor England. Interspersed among masterpieces by Tye, Taverner and Tallis, four new works by composer Andrew Smith add modern harmonic richness and complexity. The result is Tudor City, a compelling synthesis of ancient and contemporary vocal music.

Here’s what the critics are saying:

“…the perfect blend of sixteenth-century England and twenty-first century New York.” (Choral Fixation, WQXR FM/ 105.9 FM NYC)

“…a stunning tour through chant, polyphony and renaissance harmonies.”
(Valerie Kahler, New Classical Tracks, Minnesota Public Radio)

“…these are beautifully blended voices of individual distinction.”
(Andy Gill, The Independent)

“Between the excellent sonics and, more importantly, extraordinarily lovely singing, this album is very close to an instant classic.”
(Anastasia Tsioulcas, Ariama.com)

“…a very beautifully sung and considered selection.”
(All Music Guide)
