Description
Volume 5 of the acclaimed series, Music from the Peterhouse Partbooks, contains the world premiere recording of a Mass by an anonymous English composer from the first half of the 16th century. Since the source of the cantus firmus has not been identified, the Mass remains without a name ('sine nomine'). The disc also includes an antiphon addressed to St. Augustine of Canterbury which is the only surviving work of ?Hugh Sturmy?, a short and dramatic Ave Maria mater dei by Robert Hunt?, whose Stabat mater is a highlight of vol. 3 of the series, and the sonorous and captivating ?Ve nobis miseris by ?John Mason?, for men's voices in five parts. This recording is part of a 5-CD project which began in 2010.
