  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    This disc caused Blue Heron and Scott Metcalfe to be named the 2018 Winners of the Gramophone Classical Music Award for Early Music, becoming the first non-Europeans to win in the category in the 41-year history of the award. The CD comes in an attractive 4-panel wallet-style format, with a CD sleeve. There is no plastic CD tray, which makes for a greener (and more lightweight) package. It contains the world premiere recording of a Mass by an anonymous English composer from the first half of the 16th century. Since the source of the cantus firmus has not been identified, the Mass remains without a name ("sine nomine"). The disc also includes an antiphon addressed to St. Augustine of Canterbury which is the only surviving work of Hugh Sturmy, a short and dramatic Ave Maria mater dei by Robert Hunt, whose Stabat mater is a highlight of vol. 3 of the series, and the sonorous and captivating Ve nobis miseris by John Mason, for men's voices in five parts. This recording is part of a 5-CD project which began in 2010.

    The package includes a booklet with notes by Music Director Scott Metcalfe, including an extensive discussion of performance practice of music from the period.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Music from the Peterhouse Partbooks, Vol. 5 (Anonymous: Missa sine nomine) via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

Agnus dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis.
Agnus dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis.
Agnus dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona nobis pacem.

Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, grant us peace.
