Schola Polyphonica
Director, Henry Washington
Gloria: Custodi nos Domine Credo: Custodi nos Domine Kyrie Gloria
(Music transcribed and edited by Hugh Baillie and Philip Oboussier )
A few years ago several leaves containing choral settings of the Ordinary of the Mass were discovered at York. Although most of rhe music is anonymous it does provide new and interesting evidence of the alternate method of singing certain Mass sections, the polyphony of a small choir being answered by plainsong. Much of this music from York is highly elaborate and points to rhe existence of a fully developed school of composition. D.S.
