Review
At once intricate and given to the large gesture, Sheppard's mastery of varied texture and pacing is never stronger than in this work, which must be a dream to sing. (
Matthew Greenall, The Singer, June 08 )
It is an acquired taste, perhaps, but singers are amply repaid for their efforts to internalise the melodies by the delights of participating in such a richnesss of texture and boldness of expression. (
The Organ, March 08 )
Product Description
for SATTBB unaccompanied This practical performing edition is based on the single extant manuscript preserved at the Bodleian Library. The beautiful and well-written Missa Cantate (Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei) follows the well-established technique of drawing some material, usually the cantus firmus, from a pre-existing work.
