| Description: |
More copies survive of this votive antiphon by Fayrfax than of any other work by him, and they date from the 1520s to the early 17th century. It must surely have been one of his later works, and one that continued to appeal. Many of its qualities, including the clarity of the text-setting, the strong sense of melodic direction and of overall shaping and pacing, and the lack of musical ornamentation for its own sake, became standard features of later Tudor church music. For five voices: SATT/BarB. ISMN 979-0-57039-218-6.
