A series of accidents has denied the English composer Martin Peerson (c.1572–1651) the reputation which his well-crafted and characterful music merits. This first volume in Richard Rastall’s complete edition of his works will help to rectify the omission. Most of the fifteen Latin motets in the volume have emotive texts which Peerson projects through colourful harmony and other imaginative musical gestures. The missing treble parts have been recomposed by the editor. For five voices: SSA/TT/BarB. x + 94 pages. ISMN 979-0-57039-002-1.
