About "Josquin des Prez: Ave Maria - (4vv)" by The Sixteen
The Sixteen suspend Josquin's four-voice Ave Maria in crystalline air, each entrance a candle lit in a stone chapel. The polyphony breathes with hushed reverence, yet beneath the calm surface runs a current of aching devotion—beauty so precise it feels fragile, as if the motet might dissolve at the slightest touch.
