  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Blue Heron’s debut CD comes in a 4-panel digipak format, and offers an entrancing selection of music by the one of the greatest composers of the 15th century. The program includes three isorhythmic motets (Apostolo glorioso, Rite majorem Jacobum canamus, and Ecclesie militantis), the glorious, large-scale Sanctus “Papale” in its first recording in three decades, two hymns with alternatim plainchant verses, and a generous sampling of secular songs. While the disc is mostly devoted to the music of Du Fay, it also includes a song by Du Fay’s contemporary Hugo de Lantins (Mon doulx espoir), and a marvelous motet-chanson by his friend and colleague of the next generation, Johannes Ockeghem (Permanent vierge).

    The package includes a booklet with extensive notes by Music Director Scott Metcalfe.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Guillaume Du Fay: motets, hymns, chansons, sanctus papale via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

Flos florum, fons hortorum, regina polorum,
spes venie, lux letitie, medicina dolorum,
virga recens et virgo decens, forma bonorum:
parce reis et opem fer eis
in pace piorum,
pasce tuos, succure tuis,
miserere tuorum.

Flower of flowers, fount of gardens, queen of the
heavens, hope of pardon, light of joy, remedy of
sorrows, a fresh branch and seemly virgin, model of
goodness: spare the guilty and bring them a reward
through the peace of the righteous,
feed thine own, succour thine own,
have mercy upon thine own
