    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.

lyrics

Exultet in hac die fidelium ecclesia
In qua angelis est leticia.
Alleluya consonet plebs anglica.

Augustinus en transivit
Et cum Christo semper vivit.
Alleluya consonet plebs anglica.

Jam beatus semper euge
Super pauca fidelissime.
Alleluya consonet plebs anglica.

Ave nostrum ave dulce desiderium:
Pro servis tuis ora dominum.
Alleluya.

Let the church of the faithful rejoice on this day
on which the angels are joyful.
Let the English people together sing Alleluia.

Behold, Augustine has made the crossing
and lives with Christ for ever.
Let the English people together sing Alleluia.

Now the blessed one hears, “Well done,
Thou most faithful over small things.”
Let the English people together sing Alleluia.

Hail, O thou our sweet desire:
pray God on behalf of thy servants.
Alleluia.
