Hour 1 concludes with a composition from the Jewish liturgy. I was
organist at Temple Sinai in Bay Shore, New York eons ago. George
Rochberg’s piece brings back some happy memories of accompanying a young
cantor who always sang a mix of traditional and ‘hot off the press’ music.
The Allegri mass in Hour 2 is full of emotion. Same composer who wrote
that incredible setting of Psalm 51 – Miserere Mei – the one with those
floating high C’s.
Hour 3 is given over to a portion of a 2 CD set Paul McCreesh and the
Gabriel Consort and Players put out in 2002 called Music for the Duke of
Lerma.
