  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    A must-have for any serious collector of early choral music, this is a 5-CD set of the complete music from Blue Heron's groundbreaking, long-term Music from the Peterhouse Partbooks project (2010-2017). The package includes a new 84-page booklet with thousands of words on the works and history by Dr. Nick Sandon, as well as essays by Scott Metcalfe on performance practice, all illustrated with gorgeous color pictures. Complete texts and translations for the complete set are compiled in the single booklet, as well. The discs and booklet come housed in an attractive, early-to open box.

    The set includes mostly world premiere recordings and features masses by Nicholas Ludford, antiphons by Hugh Aston and Richard Pygott, the complete surviving works of Robert Jones, and the gifted though previously completely unknown composers Hugh Sturmy and Robert Hunt, and all but one of the surviving works of John Mason. The missing tenor parts have been supplied by Nick Sandon, who has dedicated much of his professional life to the Peterhouse partbooks, which were copied for Canterbury Cathedral in 1540 and are now named for the college currently housing them, Peterhouse Cambridge.

    Includes unlimited streaming of The Lost Music of Canterbury (Boxed Set) 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.
Alleluia.
