Jacobus de Kerle: Da Pacem Domine--Contentious, controversial, and truly pan-European, Ieper's Jacobus de Kerle has been championed by that most dedicated of Lowlands music proponents, Paul van Nevel with his Huelgas Ensemble--the new disc even includes excepts from the de Kerle Requiem.

The recording is on the Harmonia Mundi label and is CD #HMC 901866. For more information, you may contact them at:
