These two works are so short I thought I would put them on together. Jesu Rex Admirabilis is a beautiful meditative piece, so lofty and peaceful. And it allows the women’s voices to create gorgeous choral sounds. The Tye anthem is appealing because of its tunefulness and simple, chord-like construction. And this happy piece is over before you know it!
