Thomas Weelkes is remembered as one of the outstanding English composers of the 17th century. This survey of Weelkes' services, verse anthems and sacred madrigals features first recordings of several works in new reconstructions by scholar Peter James. Benjamin Nicholas' Tewkesbury choir delivers telling performances passionately conveying the range, imagination and technical accomplishment of Weelkes' settings.


Weelkes:
O Jonathan
Rejoice in the Lord
Te Deum & Jubilate (Eighth Service)
O how amiable are thy dwellings
Christ rising again
When David Heard
Laboravi in gemitu meo
Magnificat & Nunc dimittis (Third Service 'in F fa ut')
O vos omnes
Lord, to Thee I make my moan, anthem for 5 voices
Give ear, O Lord
All people clap your hands
Hosanna to the Son of David
