The most ‘profane’ book of the Old Testament was among the favourite biblical texts of the middle Ages.
The composers of the Renaissance made particular use of it as a metaphor of divine love, or in association with the cult of Mary.
After their first two extremely successful recordings, the singers of Stile Antico have chosen some of the finest specimens of these musical settings.
