Search - Westminster Cathedral Lay Clerks, Matthew Martin :: Victoria: Missa Gaudeamus

This recording by the Lay Clerks of Westminster Cathedral presents a full choral and instrumental celebration of the Mass for the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This festive performance is intended not as a reconstruction of a known occasion in the early seventeenth century, but as a sort of musical offering illustrating the complex liturgical structures becoming available in a period when the resources for the enrichment of the liturgy were growing steadily.
