Only one collection of sacred music from 1607 by the Italian composer Salvatore Sacco, presumably a student by Palestrina, has been handed down to us. The recording presents the majority of these works within a framework of a reconstruction of a liturgy for a Marian feast. The reconstruction is based on a thorough study of liturgical and musical practice of the period which has made it possible to place the surviving works of Sacco into their historical context during the time when the polyphonic style of the Roman school had attained its zenith. A rewarding encounter with this unjustly forgotten master of vocal polyphony from Roman school in a warm, elegant,sonorous interpretation by the Italian ensemble Templum Musicae under the direction of Vincenzo Di Donato.
