Formed in 1973 by their director Peter Phillips, they specialize in performing a cappella sacred vocal music written during the Renaissance by composers from all over Europe.
They are currently recognized as one of the world leaders in this field, having risen to a place of prominence among other professional ensembles.
They record widely on their own label, Gimell Records, which boasts a world-wide distribution and some 40 releases spanning repertoire from over 150 years of music history (approximately the years 1450–1600).
Their touring schedule brings them to America at least twice a year and Japan at least once every two years.
They are well known among music lovers and academics alike and have paved the way for many younger groups such as The Sixteen, The Cardinall's Musick, The Clerks Group, The Binchois Consort, Trinity Baroque, and the Gabrieli Consort.
Various members of the group have scholarly interests on top of their activities as professional musicians with Phillips having published a scholarly text ("English Sacred Music 1549-1649": London: Gimell Records, 1991) and Sally Dunkley, Francis Steele, and Deborah Roberts all active as music editors and publishers with interests spanning the Renaissance and early Baroque.

Speculum Justitiae [Catholic Music Channel]
Versa est in luctum cithara mea,
et organum meum in voce flentium.
Parce mihi Domine,
nihil enim sunt dies mei.
Ma harpe est accordée aux chants de deuil,
ma flûte à la voix des pleureuses.
Epargne-moi, Seigneur,
car mes jours ne sont rien.
Parbruek
Versa est in luctum cithara mea,
Turned is to mourning harp my,
et organum meum in vocem flentium.
and tool/work my to voice weepings'.
Parce mihi Domine,
Spare to me Lord,
nihil enim sunt dies mei.
nothing for are days my.
My harp is turned to mourning,
and my work to the voice of the weeping. <Difficult to render colloquialy while remaining accurate>
Spare me Lord,
for my days are nothing.

How Lobo is bending the rules in this motet really makes you speechless. This piece is insanely progressive and bold for its time, its crunchy dissonances really sell the text.

Incredible. You think you've heard all polyphony has to offer and then I hear this. Love the interpretation - renaissance music does not have to be sung with meekness.
Asier Barrio Rosales
Nuestro querido Alonso Lobo, que tantas veces olvidamos bajo la inmensa sombra del ciprés Tomás Luis de Victoria, es sublime, místico, ascensional y cósmico contrarreformista. El Patrimonio Musical e Histórico-Artístico de España es tan gigantesco que los que la habitamos no somos conscientes de su inmensidad... Peñalosa, Morales, Victoria, Lobo... Nuestros vecinos ven los que nosotros no somos capaces de ver: Los españoles tenemos la visión demasiado turbia y marchita; algún día, empero, espero que logremos la nitidez necesaria como para ser conscientes de lo universal e inabarcable que es España. Un millón de gracias por subir esta pieza.

Good music does not die, it grows stronger and becomes the connection of the past with the future.

Siete angeli che cantano vorrei tanto sapere la traduzione in italiano 🙏

I feel the goosebumps in that few seconds, in "nihil enim sunt", 3:50 - 3:55, in which voices, saying "nihil", nothing, seem to swoon just to be disolved in eternity...
