  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    This disc 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. The CD features the world premiere recording of the only surviving Mass of Robert Jones (fl.1520-1535), who was employed in the royal chapel during the reign of Henry VIII. Lyrical and mellifluous, the mass is a mature work, revealing a Master composer at the height of his power. The completely unknown composer Robert Hunt left behind a stunning work that brilliantly highlights the drama of the Stabat mater story.

    The package includes a booklet with notes by Music Director Scott Metcalfe, including an extensive discussion of performance practice of music from the period (including vocal scoring, voice types, and pronunciation of Latin).

    Includes unlimited streaming of Music from the Peterhouse Partbooks, Vol. 4 (Robert Jones: Missa Spes nostra) via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

Ave cujus conceptio,
Solemni plena gaudio,
Celestia terrestria
Nova replet letitia.
Ave cujus nativitas
Nostra fuit solemnitas,
Ut lucifer lux oriens
Ipsum solem preveniens.
Ave pia humilitas,
Sine viro fecunditas,
Cujus annuntiatio
Nostra fuit redemptio.
Ave vera virginitas,
Immaculata castitas,
Cujus purificatio
Nostra fuit purgatio.
Ave plena in omnibus
Angelicis virtutibus,
Cujus fuit assumptio

Hail, thou whose Conception,
filled with devout joy,
makes heaven and earth
replete with a new gladness.
Hail, thou whose Nativity
was our celebration,
like the morning star, a dawning light
preceding the sun itself.
Hail, thou humble obedience,
fertility without man’s intervention,
whose Annunciation
was our redemption.
Hail, thou true virginity,
spotless chastity,
whose Purification
was our purgation.
Hail, thou filled with all
angelic virtues,
whose Assumption
was our glorification.

Translation of Ave cujus conceptio
