Remarks:
This disc presents a selection of works from the Chirk Castle part-books, a fascinating collection of devotional music from the Tudor period that remained hidden in the castle library for three hundred years. The manuscripts contain works for unaccompanied voices as well as verse anthems and services, scored for solo voices, chorus and organ. This recording focuses on the unaccompanied items, presenting for the first time a selection of the "full" services and anthems found in the manuscripts, including seven unique to the Chirk collection. Among the "new finds", the most significant are the Te Deum and Benedictus "for trebles" by William Mundy.Reviews
