Amner, John: Sacred Hymnes of Three, Four, Five and Six Parts (1615)
£46.00
Edited John Morehen
Although the verbal text, vocal scoring and general musical style of a handful of the Sacred Hymnes suggest liturgical intention, the overwhelming majority of the 26 pieces in this volume are wholly representative of the wide range of secular styles which typify most Elizabethan and Jacobean madrigalian collections.
