The young men of Cantus, an eleven-member ensemble from St. Olaf College, perform choral literature ranging from polyphony and chant to art songs and spirituals. Therefore the Latin 'O Sacrum Convivium' (De Victoria) and Tallis' 'If Ye Love Me' reside along a 20th century Gustafsson-composed 'Kyrie' and 'Gloria,' the dissonant intervals heralding the epoch of modernism. 'Nachtliches Standchen,' a romantic lied, a form of which Schubert was master, is included, as is Finzi's 'Thou Didst Delight My Eyes.' 'Shenandoah' and 'Danny Boy' are quietly lambent; the acoustics of the church in Minnesota, where this CD was recorded, a perfect setting.
