This new collection, compiled from outstanding recordings by England's renowned Pro Cantione Antiqua, new collection to showcase traditional Glees to the growing young market of singing and glee clubs, takes a fascinating look at the traditional glee (from which "glee clubs" get their name) and its roots in secular madrigals.
