A Candle to the Glorious Sun - Milton, Peerson / MacDonald, Selwyn College Choir

Notes & Reviews:

John Milton and Martin Peerson were contemporaries, born within 10 years of each other in the late 1500s. Much respected in their own day, but not well know in ours, this recording offers some of their sacred songs set to texts by Sir William Leighton.
