Remember not, Lord our offenses
This comes from the same autograph manuscript in the Fitzwilliam Museum,Cambridge, as 'Lord, how long wilt thou be angry' and 'Hear my prayer', a compilation not only of Purcell’s own anthems but of music by earlier composers whom he admired, including Gibbons’ Hosanna to the Son of David. He began the collection in 1677 and used it for about five years, adding his own compositions to those he had studied.
LYRICS:
Remember not, Lord, our offences, nor the offences of our forefathers; neither take thou
vengeance of our sins, but spare us, good Lord, spare thy people whom thou hast redeemed
with thy most precious blood, and be not angry with us for ever. Spare us, good Lord.
(from the Litany, 1662 Book of Common Prayer)
A Double Celebration
A 55 track celebration to mark 30 years of the Cambridge Singers and the 70th birthday of John Rutter.
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.
