Humphrey, Blow and Purcell — Restoration Verse Anthems
The Tudor Consort joins forces with Academia Sancta Mariae to present verse anthems from three of the most influential composers of the English Restoration period. Discover the music of the little-known composer Pelham Humphrey, who within his short life assimilated the intensity and passion of the French Baroque style and exerted an enormous influence on his famous pupils John Blow and Henry Purcell.

This album is a collection of live recordings made from performances in Parroquial Church in Ordizia, Spain, and in the beautiful baroque church of Madonna dei Monti in Rome after The Tudor Consort’s tour to Spain and Italy in 2005. This recording includes a New Zealand recording of Alfonso Ferrabosco’s Lamentatione Jeremiae Prophetae for male voices. This recording was prepared for The Tudor Consort’s 20th anniversary. |

Missa Victimae Paschali Laudes This six-part mass is based on the Easter sequence Victimae Paschali Laudes, a minor mode melody. Treated with a measure of freedom, the melody appears throughout the mass in one of the soprano lines. This mass receives its premiere recording on this release prepared for The Tudor Consort’s 20th anniversary. |

Cantiones Sacrae Quinis Vocibus “… This is a wonderful choir … conductor Peter Walls understands … the overall period style … and he obviously cares a lot about ensemble balance and uniformity of tone and color” — Classicstoday.com |
