About

The music of Nicholas Ludford has been discovered only relatively recently. This CD of a capella music was recorded in the glorious acoustic of St Martin de Hoff on the outskirts of Sarrebourg, a perfect environment for this extraordinary 16th century music. It includes the Missa benedicta et venerabilis with plainsong propers and the votive anthems Domine Jesu Christe and Ave cuius conceptio.

Under Edward Higginbottom's leadership, the Choir of New College Oxford has gained a worldwide reputation and is known particularly for its stylish performances of Renaissance and Baroque music. New College's founder, William of Wykeham, envisaged in the 14th century: a choir of 16 choristers and clerks whose duty was, and still is, to provide a sung liturgy in one of the grandest chapels to be built in Oxford.

The Choir has made over 70 cds, appeared a number of times at the BBC Proms and in recent years has performed all over the world.
