'Rise, O my Soul' features the combined forces of Le Studio de musique ancienne de Montréal and Les Voix Humaines viol consort performing a selection of glorious English liturgical anthems from the reign of Elizabeth I. These full anthems, sung by 'a capella' choir, and verse anthems, which include a instrumental accompaniment, take their texts from the Anglican Book of Common Prayer and the Bible.
“The highest quality of performance on early instruments that can be found in North America.” - The Wholenote
