FRANCISCO GUERRERO:
1 Surge propera amica mea [5'49]
2 O altitudo divitiarum [4'16]
3 O Domine Jesu Christe [5'10]
4 O sacrum convivium [5'09]
5 Ave virgo sanctissima [5'33]
6 Regina caeli a 8 [4'25]

ALONSO LOBO:
7 Versa est in luctum [6'45]
8 Ave Maria [6'05]
9 O quam suavis est, Domine [6'32]

SEBASTIÁN DE VIVANCO:
10 Magnificat octavi toni [11'40]

Recorded in 1985, this seminal album from Westminster Cathedral Choir and David Hill is a true jewel in the crown. These are among the the first performances in modern times of the divine compositions of Francisco Guerrero and Alonso Lobo, and there is also a Magnificat by Sebastián de Vivanco, a composer barely known even now. These recordings date from the peak of a golden era in the history of this most illustrious of choirs, and have yet to be bettered.

‘A record that should be on the shelves of every lover of Renaissance music’ (The Musical Times)
