Renaissance composer Balduin Hoyoul (1547-1594) was a member of the Franco-Flemish school of composition. Born in Liege, he was, from the age of 13, a discant singer at the Court in Stuttgart. In 1589 he took over as Hofkapellmeister in Stuttgart. This release features perhaps his most well-known body of composition, the Sacrae Cantiones, performed by the Ensemble Hofkapelle. The Ensemble Hofkapelle was founded in 1998 by Michael Procter and Edzard Burchards with the aim of performing Renaissance music in an authentic way. The ensemble allows the singers to deal intensively with the music from 1450 to 1650 and gain a thorough knowledge of it's theoretical foundation.

Agricola was already considered one of the 'old masters' soon after his death in 1506. His works were approached with veneration and, already in the early 16th century, regarded as examples of good and demanding counterpoint. As a member of the first generation of genuinely instrumental composers, he wrote not only the masses, motets and chansons that were customary during this period, but also a large number of works without text that were obviously created for instruments by virtue of their construction. As a result, his musical rhetoric went considerably farther than his otherwise congenial colleagues Josquin Desprez and Heinrich Isaac, and he composed instru¬mental works that were far ahead of his time.

In the early summer of 1630, Venice was struck by the plague in a devastating way: It raged for 18 months and killed almost 50,000 people, more than a third of the population at the time! Doge Nicolò Cantarini vowed to build a large church for the deliverance from the plague, and even though he was unable to experience it himself, this vow was carried out. With the Santa Maria della Salute, one of the most magnificent churches in the city was built. Since the year of liberation in 1631, the festival in honor of 'Saint Mary of Health' has been celebrated every year in November. The ensemble ecco la musica has set out to find out what the music of the first Festa della Salute in 1631 might have sounded like, combining what already existed with what was new at the time and commemorating the composers who died. With the end of the epidemic, there was also a musical change, from the wind-dominated polychoral music of Gabrieli, to the style of the seconda prattica of Monteverdi and his successors with solo singers and virtuoso string accompaniment.
