Times Go By Turns

Taking its title from a poem by 16th century Jesuit martyr Robert Southwell, Times go by Turns comprises three masses composed during a period when the conditions for English Catholics underwent radical change. New York Polyphony released its first collaboration with BIS in 2012 to international acclaim. For this disc the ensemble commissioned two modern works, with Andrew Smith contributing a Kyrie - the movement which Tallis' mass leaves out - and Gabriel Jackson providing the closing Ite missa est.
