Sing unto the Lord is a Verse anthem of the continuous type that is, the chorus does not repeat any of the text of the previous solo section. By it's very nature this motet is penitential much like the psalmist Byrd in this motet implores the mercy of God, and asks exclaiming that God's anger is only momentary. Towards the end of the motet the Tenor and Bass sing interweaving what profit is there in their blood, and ask shall the dust praise thee, shall it declare joy, and thereafter imploring God's mercy.

  • Polyphony is fantastic. Words are highly inspirational. Music is really spiritual.

    I can't sing and play music like these. I've got the ideas from the sounds of music and voices of the singers that we can sing to the LORD in many forms. If we hear very well all atoms in the Universe sing to the LORD with all their might in so marvelous ways.

    They glorify the LORD everywhere as long as they exist. Let's join the band and chorus sing the Best Immortal Song: None Is Good Except The LORD Alone

  • GoOOD.

    :(

  • The Clerks of Oxenford of course, with Wulstan.

    Long ago it was a gift for my wedding and it remained our favorite renaissance CD ever since, and this anthem is the most beautiful one. Thank You

    Their "Puer Natus" Mess by Tallis was also exeptional. Don't You have it by chance? I cannot find it anywhere, and I lost it while moving to another place.

  • Starting to like this Elizabethan stuff

  • Yes, quite indeed a truly beautiful piece complemented with excellent pictures of truly a magnificent era in music and art. Quite splendid !

  • An excellent addition to your marvellous collection.

    Stunning imagery enhances this magnificent piece.

    Much appreciated as always.
