The twenty-fourth classical recording: #12 Cristobal de Morales - Motets
We're back! Time for some old motets and such, and so the choral multiple voices play to sound angelic. While the skill involved in these is impressive and I know I'm not quite educated enough to appreciate and understand the full set of techniques used, it doesn't fill me with the reverence that's meant to come from these songs. They don't speak to me, they don't evoke much of an emotion in me and doesn't give the journey I hope for.
It's probably not its fault - it's a work of its time - but given how much more we've seen done with this, I prefer the baudier, more diverse 'folk' music we got (even) earlier in the list.
