The Christian year reaches one of its greatest climaxes in a group of three feasts following Easter: the Ascension (forty days after Easter), Pentecost or Whitsunday (fifth days after Easter), and Trinity Sunday (one week later). We here mark this season in music of the late Renaissance and the twentieth century, together with organ works by Bach. The disc complements the choir's previous recording, Christ Rising, which presents music from these same repertories for the final days of Holy Week and Easter Day. We concentrate here on many of the same composers: the four greatest figures of the late Renaissance—William Byrd, Tomás Luis de Victoria, Orlande de Lassus, and Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina—together with Byrd's teacher Thomas Tallis, Victoria's most famous Spanish predecessor Francisco Guerrero, and the Portuguese Duarte Lobo.
