Notes & Reviews:

Peter Philips was the most famous English composer of his time, and only Byrd, a generation older, had more compositions published. Much of Philips's life was spent on the Continent, where he wrote music of intricate, text-conscious colour, both deeply expressive and architecturally powerful. His motets and anthems, whether celebratory, meditative or dramatic, embrace the widest range of feeling and texture. The much-admired Sarum Consort's disc All the Queen's Men (8.572582) was praised for its 'energy and aplomb'. (American Record Guide) The Sarum Consort was founded in 1992, making its concert début at the 1993 Salisbury Festival when painter Jane Mackay, Andrew Mackay's sister, exhibited work inspired by Britten's music, and a concert was given to illustrate the artist's inspiration. The Consort's recordings have enjoyed critical acclaim.

The Observer (London)
Peter Philips (c.1560 - 1628) wrote expressive, intricate polyphony... The word setting... is direct and often illustrative. This music is difficult to balance well, but the Sarum Consort, with one voice to a part, achieves plangent harmony, especially in the glorious eight-voice, two-choir motet Ave Regina caelorum. Another advance in our understanding of the rich British choral repertory.
