5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent starting point for learning of old masses., January 2, 2006
This review is from: Spirits of England & France 4: Missa Caput (Audio CD)
'missa caput and the story of the Salve regine' performed by the Gothic Voices, directed by Christopher Page, part of the Hyperion 'The Spirits of England and France' series is a recording I picked up simply because it was published by Hyperion and it was part of a series I respected from earlier releases. Based on the notes in the accompanying booklet, it turns out this is an excellent starting point for appreciating Medieval masses.

The missa caput is an exceptionally well documented English mass which was copied on the continent, since at this time (fifteenth century), English music was highly respected in Europe. And, unlike so many earlier pieces, it is a complete mass and includes both male and female choruses.

Recommended for 'early music' buffs.
