MacMillan: Mouth of the Dumb. [3'55''] Andrew Swait, Sam Harris; Lucy Wakeford

Mouth of the Dumb
light of the blind,
foot of the lame,
stretch out a hand to the fallen.

Shelter the vain and the insane.
Succour them.
O Columba,
hope of Scotland,
by the standing,
by the healing intervention,
make us join now with God's own holy angels:
alleluia.

DEUTSCHE GRAMMOPHON 477 7635 (Universal) [80'58'']
Grabación: Julio de 2007


Después de que The road to Paradise tuviera estupenda acogida, McCreesh repite la fórmula de mezclar polifonía renacentista con música del siglo XX, aunque en este caso la acerca más a la actualidad, al incluir piezas de Tavener, Gorecki, McMillan o Adès, entre otros músicos vivos. El disco está dedicado a la Virgen, y la formación del Gabrieli Consort, sólo voces, se mueve entre la decena y la treintena de miembros. El tono interpretativo, meditativo y sereno, parece en general más adecuado para el repertorio contemporáneo que para el antiguo.

Howells: A Spotless Rose. [3'37''] Gabrieli Consort. Paul McCreesh

A Spotless Rose is blowing
sprung from a tender root,
of ancient seers’ foreshowing,
of Jesse promised fruit;
its fairest bud unfolds to light
amid the cold, cold winter
and in the dark midnight.

The Rose which I am singing,
ahereof Isaiah said,
is from its sweet root springing
in Mary, purest Maid;
for through our God’s great love and might
the blessed babe she bare us
in a cold, cold winter’s night.
