Ave. • (Dante Alighieri, 1265–1321) • (Virgin mother, daughter of your Son, humble and exalted above all beings, constant vessel of eternal counsel. • You are she who so ennobled human nature, through whom His Creator did not disdain the incarnation. • In your womb was love rekindled, from whose warmth, in eternal peace, this flower did germinate. You are to us the brightest torch of charity, and amongst mortals a bubbling fountain of hope. Lady, your greatness and worth are such, that to seek for grace without coming to you would be like • trying to fly without wings. • Your graciousness not only succours those in need, but also frequently freely anticipates our desires. In you there is mercy, pity and magnificence, reunited in you in flesh and in spirit. Hail.) • (translation by Paul Gordon) • Laudi alla Vergine Maria • This piece, simple and chaste in expression, was written for four solo voices, but is more usually - and possibly more effectively - performed chorally. • Stillness and Sweet Harmony • From the wealth of music spanning over ten centuries recorded by the Cambridge Singers, John Rutter has selected fifteen serene and tranquil tracks from Collegium albums: the Gregorian chant 'Alma Redemptoris Mater', John Wilbye’s madrigal 'Draw on, sweet night', the 'Pie Jesu', from Fauré's Requiem, Allegri's soaring 'Miserere', and many more. This is music to bring peace. • John Rutter, English composer and conductor, is associated with choral music throughout the world. His recordings with the Cambridge Singers (the professional chamber choir he set up in 1983) have reached a wide global audience, many of them featuring his own music in definitive versions. Among John’s best-known choral works are Gloria, Requiem, Magnificat, Mass of the Children, and Visions, together with many church anthems, choral songs and Christmas carols. • Contact • [email protected]
