Cantores in Ecclesia

About This Recording

In Rome was recorded on tour, when Cantores in Ecclesia won three Gold Medals at Rome's 1997 world-famous Palestrina Competition.

One of the best kept secrets in the Pacific Northwest is the little choral miracle that happens every Saturday evening, during mass at Saint Patrick's Church in Northwest Portland. Dean Applegate regularly leads Cantores in Ecclesia through sublime renderings of the greatest acapella works in the Western liturgical repertoire -- from Josquin to Britten and beyond.

Sicut Cervus; Super Flumina Babylonis
- Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina

Missa O Quam Gloriosum - Tomas Luis de Victoria

Mass for Five Voices;
