Customer Reviews of The Old Hall Manuscript
Valuable The Old Hall Manuscript is a major source of the 15th century English sacred music. The selection of works from this manuscript, presented on this recording, follows the general layout adopted by the compilers of the manuscript: first come the movements from the mass ordinary in their logical sequence (Gloria, Credo, Sanctus and Agnus), interpolated with liturgical antiphons, then come the settings of the last response - Deo Gratias. In addition, to make the source of plainchant in several antiphons more clear, the Hilliard included four plainsong melodies directly in front of the antiphons. This recording is extremely valuable because it brings back from oblivion many wonderful works with which the listener is not likely to be familiar. The Hilliard sing these pieces with crisp clarity and energetic tempi. My favorite pieces are Pycard's Gloria , a queue of rapid imitative entries, fortified by the use of three equal voices (tenors); and Anon. Agnus Dei (track 21), an example of the style called English Discant (in its simplest form, a plainsong melody in one of the voices, harmonized note for note in the other voices). Recorded in 1990, this is the last Hilliard recording still featuring their founder - the wonderful baritone Paul Hillier.
