Music from the Sarum Rite - Trinity Choir

Music from the Sarum Rite 02.03.11

The Trinity Choir, along with Guest Conductor George Steel, General Manager and Artistic Director of New York City Opera, perform Music from the Sarum Rite. These gorgeous compositions – taken from the elaborate and theatrical liturgy of pre-Reformation England – feature soaring soprano lines and rich choral textures by masters such as Robert Wylkinson, William Byrd, Thomas Tallis, and John Sheppard. Although rarely performed today, the Sarum Rite includes some of the most exquisite music of any age.

Can you tell the difference?? Sacred music vs. secular music at Mass.

For All the Saints Who From Their Labours Rest

"For All the Saints" was written as a processional hymn by the Anglican Bishop William Walsham How. The hymn was first printed in Hymns for Saint's Days, and Other Hymns, by Earl Nelson, 1864. It has been described as "one of the finest hymn tunes of [the 20th] century."

There's A Longing in My Heart

There's a longing in my heart to hear sacred music like this at Mass, in a traditional Catholic Church with traditional architecture. As a convert, I have never experienced a Latin Mass or any Mass using music like this.
