Hugo Williams; Emma Troman; Shawn Li; The Choir of Peterhouse; Cambridge; Simon Jackson - Music from the Peterhouse Partbooks

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.
