Stabat Mater - Music From The Eton Choirbook

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
When we think of a particular period of music history, we tend to focus on only a handful of composers, ignoring countless others who wrote music at the same times and places. Their names may have been forgotten and their music neglected, but, as this disc shows, we are missing out on some extraordinary music worthy of serious attention. Chances are, most listeners know nothing of composers such as Browne, Lambe, Wylkynson, or Davy. The problem is, no one knows very much about them--except that their music exists in various manuscripts, including the Eton Choirbook, one of the three great 16th- century collections that survived the Reformation. This disc, with its sturdy, often remarkable, virtuosic performances, puts us in touch with some of the greatest of these unknown masterpieces, and opens our eyes and ears to a new world of choral music. --David Vernier

      Volume 2 of the Sixteen's Eton Choirbook survey is built around three settings of the Stabat Mater sequence depicting the Virgin's grief at the Crucifixion. None of the music itself reflects that grief--reflecting the sentiments of a sacred text in the music was a Renaissance idea that had not reached England by 1500. Rather, the music adorns the text--quite spectacularly, with flashy rhythmic interplay and divided voices (especially high trebles) soaring around each other. Harry Christophers does include two settings of English-language Passiontide texts--these have the somber tone you'd expect. The Sixteen continue the unfortunate habit of transposing this music up unnecessarily, but their performance is otherwise exemplary and well worth having. --Matthew Westphal
