For a monk resident in one of post-Reformation Germany’s religious institutions, music would have served as a focus of spiritual discipline as well as a source of joy. Some real discoveries await the listener who joins The Brabant Ensemble on this exploration of the monk’s musical life, represented by a variety of composers of greater and lesser familiarity.
