"This disc features some of the best-loved classics of Tudor and Jacobean church music together with madrigals by Tallis, Byrd and Gibbons. They are performed alongside pieces by Britten, Tippett and MacMillan including the Five Spirituals from A Child of Our Time and the Choral Dances from Gloriana. The Sixteen has performed this repertoire around the world over the last six years and is one of the ensemble's most popular concert programmes".

"This compilation recreates one of The Sixteen's concert programmes, focusing on English choral music from Tallis to Tippett ... As Harry Christophers observes, the singers may change but the style remains remarkably consistent and confident. That will please The Sixteen's many admirers but, given the programme's many styles, one might have expected more variety in the interpretations ... For what comes across as varied when performed live can seem strangely mismatched on CD".
