Treasures
of English Church Music
The Cambridge Singers,
2-CD set - $27.96 Full Latin & English Text w/notes
WHILE EVERYONE
HAS HEARD OF BACH, MOZART AND BEETHOVEN, how many have heard of Byrd,
Tallis, and Purcell? Like most of our classical Christian heritage, the
Christian half has fallen down the memory hole! But you can introduce
your children to these treasures of English Church music, every bit as
beautiful, if not more so, than that of their better known, but more secular
counterparts.
In this CD,
the incomparable John Rutter and the Cambridge Singers bring you nearly
two and a half hours of some of the most beautiful music this side of
heaven. Forty-six a capella pieces, fifteen in Latin and thirty-one in
English, will not only give you hours and hours of listening pleasure,
but will serve to acquaint you and your children with the much-neglected
history of the great Christian composers, whose compositions in both English
and Latin include: Hide not Thou Thy Face (Farrant), Remember Not, Lord,
Our Offences (Purcell) These are They that Follow the Lamb (Goss), Miserere
Mei , and Ave Verum Corpus, (Byrd) O Nata Lux (Tallis), and In Manus Tuas
(Sheppard). Full text (both Latin and English).
