A stunning selection of Anthems and Motets from the Tudor Times - featuring some of the Period’s most prestigious composer’s of such Music. The disc features a piece titled Call to Remembrance, here by Richard Farrant. This must have been one of the most popular Anthems of this era judging by the number of Manuscripts that contain it. There are two exuberant versions of Hosanna to the Son of David by Thomas Weelkes and Orlando Gibbons and a splendid version of Ave verum Corpus by William Byrd. Also featured is the great English composer, Thomas Tallis - who was a master of all the musical styles prevalent during his long life. Here we have Salvator Mundi, if ye love me and O nata lux by Tallis which seems to have been his attempt to show that English Music could take its place among the best of the rest of Europe.

Once again, Clare College Chapel Choir perform to the highest of standards. This is their third recording on the Guild Music label and alongside their previous two: Compline Service with Anthems & Motets and Ave Verum - Favourite Parish Anthems, this makes THREE stunning Compact Discs for the fan of Choral Music.
