O Lord, the Maker of all thing
The plain, unadorned texture of this setting of one of the earliest vernacular English prayers is typical of the austere, devout style of the immediately post-Reformation anthem.The piece is found in the sixteenth-century choir books of a number of cathedrals, so it was evidently popular, but its ascription to the shadowy William Mundy, of whom little is known, cannot be confirmed.
LYRICS:
O Lord, the Maker of all thing,
We pray thee now in this evening
Us to defend through thy mercy
From all deceits of our enemies;
Let neither us deluded be,
Good Lord, with dream or fantasy,
Our hearts waking in thee thou keep,
That we in sin fall not on sleep.
O Father, through thy blessed Son
Grant us this our petition,
To whom with the Holy Ghost always
In heaven and earth be laud and praise. Amen.
(The King’s Primer, 1545)
Lighten our Darkness
The service of Compline has inspired many incredibly beautiful compositions and this collection gathers together 18 of the many lovely a cappella choral motets written to adorn the evening worship of the church. Composers include Byrd, Guerrero, Rachmaninov and Sheppard, alongside such less well-known masterworks as Rheinberger’s Abendlied and the four great Marian motets of Victoria.
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 1981) 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.
