Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Released for Christmas 2007 and now available to download from Amazon, this is pianist/arranger Lundgren's faithful jazz homage to Renaissance choral music.
On arrangements of melodies by Monteverdi, Byrd and de Morales, the effect is less stark and more conventionally beautiful than Jan Garbarek and the Hilliards' superficially similar Officium, whose huge success presumably helped inspire the recording. It's also wonderfully ambient, and therefore unlikely to offend the sherry-glugging classes when played as a seasonal aperitif.
