The five former choristers of the famed St. Thomas Church choir in Leipzig present a recording of Franz Schubert's German Mass and skillfully round off the disc with contemporary motet settings. Ensemble Nobiles not only performs settings by church musicians such as Hugo Distler and Manfred Schlenker, but also feature the works of several St. Thomas cantors. The motet Verleih uns Frieden gneñdiglich (Grant US your gracious peace) by the current Leipzig Thomas Kantor Georg Christoph Biller brings this CD of sacred vocal works full circle - from Schubert all the way to the music of our times.
