The first recording of this new ensemble focuses on the traditional Josquinian roots of early Reformation music, as exemplified in the Latin psalm-motets and related pieces by Ludwig Senfl. When in 1530 Martin Luther sent Senfl a letter expressing his weariness with living and asking for a setting of In pace in idipsum dormiam, the composer responded with the motet Non moriar, sed vivam!
This recording is titled Works for Martin Luther and the Reformation in its Entrée release.
