With their dramatic history, the Peterhouse Partbooks are among the most significant collections of English sacred music manuscripts from the 16th and early 17th centuries. Including several world premiere recordings, this programme presents a survey of the rich variety in the Peterhouse manuscripts, from the Venetian splendour of Croce's eight-part anthem Omnes gentes plaudite, to the penitential intimacy of Tallis's O God be merciful unto us.
"The Peterhouse Choir catches winningly the bounding enthusiasm and engaging harmonies of the Magnificat… Peterhouse director of music Simon Jackson conducts sympathetically throughout and provides the helpful booklet essay" BBC Music
"Here the works are performed, most appropriately, by the current choir of Peterhouse College… They have been well prepared, with accurate intonation and most expressive singing, and the whole disc is a pleasure to hear. " MusicWeb
