De Profundis & Eamonn Dougan – Morales: Requiem A 5 & Officium Defunctorum – CD

Cristóbal de Morales’s five-voice ‘Missa pro defunctis’ is steeped in a grandeur and solemnity which resonate powerfully with the listener, especially in a large-scale account such as that recorded here by De Profundis. The ‘Requiem’ is preceded by a selection of motets which address last things in an affecting ‘Office for the Dead’.
