Should be required listening for any college course about early music. A wide variety of early classical styles are represented here, from ancient plainchant to early Baroque keyboard. Tracks such as Bingen's "I viridissima virga" and the anonymous "Chominciamento do gioia" demonstrate how this album has one "foot" inside the church and the other outside.
