![Choir of New College Oxford - William Mundy: Vox patris caelestis - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/ab3c8da0-4e9d-445c-ad21-629ae101b43e.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
The Choir of New College Oxford's latest album on Linn explores the rich and complex world of William Mundy, a key figure in 16th-century English music. His compositions, shaped by the religious and political upheavals of his time, offer a fascinating mix of intricate harmonies and unexpected choral textures. From the expansive Vox patris caelestis - a monument of Renaissance English polyphony - to the more intimate O Lord, the maker of all thing, Mundy's music reflects both the compositional idioms of the day and it's many challenges. This most remarkable composer shines in a performance to match by the centuries-old Choir of New College and it's Director Robert Quinney. A must-hear for lovers of Renaissance choral music! Album Tracks 1. A Solis Ortus Cardine 2. Vox Patris Caelestis 3. Videte Miraculum 4. Kyrie 5. Sive Vigilem 6. Magnificat 7. O Lord, the Maker of All Thing

![Choir Of New College Oxford Quinney - Media Vita - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/6abfcb86-9565-4731-9f62-df8e9ca6c4b5.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
The Choir of New College Oxford, one of the most acclaimed British choral ensembles, makes it's Linn debut with a recording of works by the English Renaissance composer John Sheppard. New College Choir was already 150 years old when Sheppard arrived in Oxford intent on contributing to the wealth of choral polyphony that defined the era. Media vita is his most celebrated work, almost symphonic in it's proportions, in which he combines and elevates conventional Tudor musical devices to striking effect. Sheppard's boundary-pushing polyphony requires the skill and precision of liturgical professionals, and in the hands of director Robert Quinney it is compelling. The programme is completed by several motets in which Sheppard sets text from the Old Testament; we are delighted that four of these motets are premiere recordings A solis ortus cardine, Inclina Domine, Iudica me Deus and Confitebor tibi. This is another distinctive and stylish performance from this acclaimed choir, which marks the first in a new series of recordings for Linn Records. Album Tracks 1. A Solis Ortus Cardine 2. Inclina Domine 3. Iudica Me Deus 4. Deus Misereatur 5. Confitebor Tibi 6. Sacris Solemniis 7. Media Vita
