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).
