Kyrie Cunctipotens genitor

from The Lost Music of Canterbury (Boxed Set) by Blue Heron

/
  • 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

Cunctipotens genitor Deus omni creator eleyson.
Fons et origo boni pie luxque perhennis eleyson. Salvificet pietas tua nos bone rector eleyson.
Christe Dei splendor virtus patrisque sophia eleyson. Plasmatis humani factor, lapsi reperator eleyson.
Ne tua damnetur, Jesu, factura benigne eleyson.
Amborum sacrum spiramen, nexus amorque eleyson. Procedens fomes vite fons purificans vis eleyson. Purgator culpe, venie largitor optime, offensas dele, sacro nos munere reple, spiritus alme eleyson.

God, almighty father, creator of all, have mercy.
Fount and kindly source of good, eternal light, have mercy. Benevolent ruler, may thy goodness save us, have mercy.
O Christ, splendor of God, strength and wisdom of the Father, have mercy. O thou that takest human form, restorer of the fallen, have mercy. Lest thy works perish, O Jesus, generously have mercy.
O spirit, sacred vessel of both [father and son] and bond of love, have mercy. O kindling fire, fount of life and purifying force, have mercy. O cleanser of guilt, best bestower of pardon, wipe out our offenses, fill us with thy sacred gift, O nourishing spirit, have mercy.
