Corpus Christi remains as one of the most important days in the liturgical calendar: it emphasises the joy of the institution of the Eucharist, having previously been observed only on Maundy Thursday in the sombre atmosphere of the forthcoming Good Friday.
The centre-piece of this CD is a complete performance of Josquin’s Missa Pange lingua, [c.1515-21] one of the earliest masses and which heralded the Renaissance. The programme ends with Finzi’s ecstatic Lo, the full, final Sacrifice. The piece was commissioned by the great Reverend Walter Hussey (also responsible for commissioning major works by Benjamin Britten, Henry Moore, Graham Sutherland, Leonard Bernstein and others); Finzi composed it directly after the Second World War in 1946 for the 53rd anniversary of the consecration of St Matthew’s Church, Northampton, where Hussey was vicar.
Francis Grier’s setting of Panis angelicus was composed in 2015 in memory of David Trendell, Director of Music of King’s College, London, who died suddenly in 2014 at the age of 50.
“every bit as successful as its predecessors … An exceptionally satisfying CD.” -Choir & Organ, January 2017 ***** (HMU907653: Mater Ora Filium)
“The Clare College choir is among the finest of the UK’s collegiate choirs and this new release is fully up to the standards we’ve come to expect from them.” - MusicWeb International, 27 October 2016 (HMU907654: Remembrance)
