Chiltern Recorder Consort Series

John Taverner (c. 1490 – 18 October 1545) was an English composer known primarily for his sacred works. His music represents the culmination of early 16th-century English polyphony.

What is the story behind Dona nobis pacem? It is the invocation to the Lamb of God to have mercy and grant peace to the worshipers. It is said to have been introduced into the Mass by Pope Sergius I in 687, and is the last phrase of the Latin form: Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis. Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis.

Alex Ayre was a British recorder teacher and performer who arranged over 500 pieces, of mainly English Renaissance and Baroque music, for recorder ensembles. 

Score: 4 pages. 7 parts @ 1 page ea.
