| Description: |
John Browne was probably a member of the household chapel of John de Vere, Earl of Oxford, a staunch supporter of the Lancastrians and Tudors and one of the richest men in England. In this setting for male voices of an otherwise unknown poem exploring Mary’s thoughts on witnessing the crucifixion of her son, the radiance of the music transcends the tragic tone of the text, and the sense of cohesion and subtle vocal interplay are typical of the composer. One of Antico’s transposed editions of Eton choirbook music written at an unusually high or low pitch. For four voices: TTBB. vii + 16 pages. ISMN 979-0-57039-152-3.
