Pro Cantione Antiqua is a renowned British ensemble known for their exquisite performances of Renaissance and early Baroque choral music. Formed in the early 1960s, the group quickly established themselves as experts in the field of early music, with a particular emphasis on the works of European composers. They are highly regarded for their stylistic authenticity and purity of sound, which echo the historical contexts of the pieces they perform.

Their discography is a testament to the ensemble's dedication to the music of the past, showcasing masterpieces from composers such as Palestrina, Tallis, and Allegri. Works like Palestrina's "Missa Papae Marcelli" and "Missa Assumpta est Maria," Allegri's ethereal "Miserere mei," and Tallis's grand "Spem in Alium" are all part of their extensive recording achievements. Pro Cantione Antiqua has not only brought these ancient compositions back to the forefront of classical music appreciation but has also set a high standard for historical performance, inspiring both audiences and fellow musicians with their passion for bringing early music's rich history to life.
