Nick Peros- Motets is the debut CD from Canadian composer Nick Peros and features 20 a cappella choral works composed by Nick and performed by The Renaissance Singers, conducted by Richard Cunningham.

The Motets are deeply expressive works of the highest artistry, skillfully crafted, beautiful, powerful and passionate.  Flowing melodies and rich and innovative harmonies are presented across a wide variety of musical textures--some pieces are very polyphonic (Love & Faithfulness, Shout For Joy), some are very chordal (All Glorious Is The Princess), others combine both (O God You Are My God).  The pieces themselves range from 2 part, 4 part and 5 part textures.

Nick Peros-Motets was released across Canada on the Phoenix Records label in October 1999, distributed nationally in Canada by SRI, and has received superb critical and audience reviews.  The World Premiere concert of Motets took place on Friday September 24 1999 at Toronto's Ford Centre Recital Hall and was a great success--a strong turnout to one of North America's acoustically best concert halls gave the Motets a powerful five minute standing ovation.  Currently other concerts of the Motets are planned for various American and international cities.

The CD Nick Peros-Motets was produced by Nick Peros and engineered by Emmy award winning producer Jim Morgan and 2 time Juno award winner Carmon Barry.

Nick has stated that the Motets were born out of a pursuit of beauty, out of a conviction that musical expressiveness, artistry and craftsmanship matter.  These 20 works have certainly achieved that goal.  The CD Nick Peros-Motets, on Phoenix Records, is the debut recording of works by Nick Peros.
