These recordings by Bill Douglas are a rarity -- New Age music that is genuinely musical. Douglas is a teacher as well as a composer, and these compositions showcase his mastery of his craft. The Ars Nova singers are everything that a trained a capella group is supposed to be. They are on pitch, they are together, their voices blend well. They are precise as well as flowing and gentle. The simple instrumentals -- piano, oboe, etc. achieve a maximum of ends with a minimum of means. Douglas's recordings are the very definition of musical elegance, and Celtic grace.
