The Choir of St Catharine’s College, Cambridge with its director, Edward Wickham, present an exciting recording of extended and little-known Psalm settings by the Franco-Flemish Renaissance composer Claude Le Jeune. Selected from Le Jeune’s monumental 'Dodecacorde' collection of Psalms, and giving a fascinating insight into the exquisite French choral music of the late Renaissance, each Psalm is paired with a hymn setting of the same text by Louis Bourgeois harmonised by Claude Goudimel or Le Jeune himself. Framing the recording are hymn versions of the ‘Old Hundredth’ (Psalm 34) and the Song of Simeon.
