Robert White Lamentations a 5 Lectio Secunda

Robert White (ca. 1538 - 1574): Lamentations of Jeremiah, lectio secunda. Performed by Huelgas Ensemble.

Lectio secunda (Lam 1, 11 - 13):
[11] CAPH. Omnis populus eius gemens et quaerens panem;
dederunt pretiosa quaeque pro cibo ad refocillandam animam.
"Vide, Domine, et considera, quoniam facta sum vilis!"
[12] LAMED. O vos omnes, qui transitis per viam, attendite et videte,
si est dolor sicut dolor meus, quem paravit mihi,
quo afflixit me Dominus in die irae furoris sui.
[13] MEM. De excelso misit ignem, in ossa mea immisit eum;
expandit rete pedibus meis, convertit me retrorsum:
posuit me desolatam, tota die maerore confectam.
[Jerusalem, Jerusalem, convertere ad Dominum Deum tuum.]

I did not know him, either, before I found this. In spite of his short life, Robert White (ca. 1538 - 1574) is said to have been very important between two wonderful generations, those represented by Thomas Tallis (ca. 1505 1585) and William Byrd (ca. 1540 1623)...

I suppose that that is Peter Philipps who found the beauty of this music, avec his famous The Thalis Scholars in 1995 (CDGIM 030). However, I should like to express my best thanks, dear Cesarsalgado1972, since this performance is truly beautiful.

The best wishes,

Jean-François

Thanks Cesar, for your kind reply.

This musician has captured my attention so I searched on Wikipedia: he is an English composer whose liturgical music to Latin texts is considered particularly fine. He took his B.Mus at Cambridge in 1560, and became master of choristers at Ely, before marrying Christopher Tye's daughter in 1565; he subsequently held similar posts at Chester and Westminster Abbey.
