Sacred muse

Edmund Rubbra: The Sacred Muse (1997) by Br. Francis Hempel (bass baritone), Christine Helfrich (soprano), Lucia Smith (soprano), Nathanael Reese (tenor) Edmund Rubbra (1901-1986) has become recognized as one of the leading British symphonic composers of the second half of the 20th century. In this recording, Gloriae Dei Cantores brings the choral works of Edmund Rubbra to life. Tenebræ, Op. 72 consists of nine motet settings of the Gregorian Chant responsories for Maundy Thursday. Rubbra's expressive and powerful style conveys the depth of these texts that re-tell the passion of Christ. Also recorded are: Missa in Honorem Sancti Dominici, which is generally considered his choral masterpiece; Salutation, Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis Op. 65; and Festival Gloria Op. 94, which completes this landmark recording. The most comprehensive survey of Rubbra's sacred music yet available... compellingly and imaginatively performed. A 'must have' for all devotees of this fascinating composer." (John Rutter- Composer, Founder, and Conductor of the Cambridge Singers)"
