As I look back over 2020, no music has given me more pleasure than Robert Fripp’s Music for Quiet Moments, a series now up to 35 entries, released every Friday since back in the spring. No. 6, subtitled Seascape, stands out among many excellent entries. You can find it on all the streaming services. This series comprises some of the finest ambient music I’ve heard in years, and that is saying something.

The Tallis Scholars finished their magisterial cycle of Josquin masses with a beautiful performance of the Missa Hercules dux Ferrariae and two other masses. The whole cycle, three decades in the making, is worth your attention.
