Based on a major new discovery, this recording features the complete setting of the Lamentations of Jeremiah for Good Friday by Antoine Brumel, one of the most celebrated composers of the Renaissance. Brumel's Lamentations have been known, performed, and recorded for many years in a much abbreviated form of two verses and the refrain, "Jerusalem, convertere." The additional seventeen verses, which were found hiding in plain sight in a sixteenth-century manuscript by Musica Secreta's co-director Laurie Stras, reveal a monumental setting that is both intricate in it's detail and imposing in it's formal construction; a masterpiece brought from darkness into light. The second half of the disc focusses on gems by Josquin des Prez and Loyset Compere sitting alongside the anonymous beauty of works that decorated the nuns' worship throughout the year.
