13th-Century Motets
Ninth in a series of 28 programmes devised and introduced by Basil Lam
These motets, in contrast to those in the seventh programme, are mainly settings of non-liturgical sacred texts, mostly in Latin. Some of them appear in so many manuscripts that they may almost be described as 13th-century classics.
