Ecce tu pulcher es

Nigra sum and Vineam meam non custodivi

Osculetur me

Si ignoras Pulchrae sunt genae tuae and Fasciculus myrrae

Trahe me

Cambridge Singers, The: Palestrina: The Song of Songs

Be the first to review this product

This was released on the 400th anniversary of Palestrina's passing. He was a master composer of a cappella motets and madrigals; this complete set of 29 motets from The Song of Songs is unique for the papal choirmaster in its racy, passionate text and more relaxed musical treatment. As usual, John Rutter's Cambridge Singers are flawless, tenderly interweaving their voices in these songs of love. (69:02 1994)

Osculetur me
Trahe me
Nigra sum and Vineam meam non custodivi
Si ignoras, Pulchrae sunt genae tuae and Fasciculus myrrae
Ecce tu pulcher es
Tota pulchra es and Vulnerasti cor meum
Sicut lilium inter spinas and Introduxit me rex
Laeva ejus
Vox dilecti mei, Surge, propera and Surge, amica mea
Dilectus meus mihi and Surgam et circuibo civitatem
Adjuro vos and Caput ejus
Dilectus meus descendit and Pulchra es
Quae is ista and Descendi in hortum nucum
Quam pulchra sunt
Duo ubera tua
Quam pulchra es and Guttur tuum
Veni, dilecte mi
