Directed by Andrew Carwood

Continuing the first-ever CD edition of the music of Fayrfax, of which the first release was the GRAMOPHONE AWARD WINNER 1995. This disc presents a superb, mature example of the 'cyclic' mass form Fayrfax pioneered and mastered within his Festal masses. The Missa O bone Ihesu is an exceptionally beautiful setting, paired with an equally fine Magnificat. There are no other recordings available of either piece, nor of the earlier Salve Regina setting from the Eton Choirbook. Another side of Fayrfax's legacy is represented by three secular songs from The Fayrfax Manuscript in the British Library, including his most popular song Most Clere of Colour.
