Digital Booklet
This is the fourth volume in a long-term project by Boston-based vocal ensemble Blue Heron to perform and record music from the Peterhouse partbooks. This set of manuscripts now belonging to Peterhouse, Cambridge, which contain an extensive and mostly neglected repertoire of pre-Reformation English polyphony, much of it of superlative quality, by the most famous composers of the day and a host of unknown masters. The Peterhouse partbooks contain 40 unica, works surviving in one unique source, as well as a dozen other works whose concordant sources are imperfect. Because the tenor partbook and several pages of the treble book of the Peterhouse set are lost, these more than 50 works, consisting of masses, magnificats and antiphons on a grand, late medieval scale have gone virtually unstudied and unperformed in modern times.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
