The Sacred Flame - Cambridge Singers

I'll be honest, my mental image of the Cambridge Singers is of rather heavy handed singing, suitable for John Rutter's jolly carols, but not exactly competition for the Sixteen. However in this collection of Renaissance and Baroque they have proved they can do subtlety too. The Monteverdi pieces bounce along with just enough lightness. There's a wonderful range of the best music here. Gesualdo's O vos omnes, for example, is full of 'he can't do that!' moments - it's electrifying. Buxtehude's chunky and jubilant Magnificat adds a little light relief among the exquisite likes of Victoria and Josquin Desprez... and it runs through neatly through Schütz to the (relatively) trendy 'new' music of Mr Bach.

All in all a great collection.

Second-hand Sheet Music

Buying the music

We have a collection of second-hand sheet music. To keep it simple, we have a single price of £3 per copy (including p&p) to the UK, £4 to an EU address and £6 ($10 USD) to the rest of the world - the heavier books at the bottom are priced as 2 copies. All the music is used and could be pristine or could be 80 years old and in need of repair - all we promise is that it’s original, it’s all there, and it is readable. If you have a query, please drop us an email.
