I have featured Micheal Eldrige’s work since I opened this site last year. Most of his work has been of 4-part a capella hymn. Today he released a performance of Palestrina’s motet, Sicut Cervus – a great divergence for him in subject matter and the aural complexity of polyphony. Here it is.

Again a well-mixed lovely permanence.
