Christmas Meditations (2004)

 

The programme is based around Robert Fayrfax's Mass for Christmas Day, incorporating plainchant from the Sherborne Missal and Crowland Gradual. It is an authentic reconstruction of how High Mass may have been celebrated on Christmas Day in Sherborne Abbey c.1520.

The CD is available online from www.classicalcommunications.co.uk (CCL CDG1100).

 
Christmas Meditations by Magdala
...Moving from a plainchant Introit to a stunning flowering of all parts in the Gloria, this is a superbly executed CD, and a powerful antidote to Christmas 2004.
