Ave verum corpus
Motets and Anthems by William Byrd
The Cambridge Singers
John Rutter conductor
CSCD 507
This recording presents a selection of fifteen of the 150 or so Latin motets and three of the dozens of English anthems that, between them, form the larger part of the life’s work of William Byrd (1543-1623), the greatest English composer of his era. The chosen motets and anthems represent just some of the many facets of Byrd’s sacred music, now recognized after three centuries of neglect as among the most glorious ever written for choir."Exceptional performances by this quite wonderful group of singers." Church Music Quarterly
