This is the third volume to be released on CORO in the distinguished & collectable Eton Choirbook series.

Miraculously, the Eton Choirbook survived Henry VIII's ransacking of the monasteries.

Thanks to its survival, the sacred music of the English fifteenth-century is still with us, conjuring up the atmosphere and spirit of the glorious cathedrals for which it was written. It also gives a tantalising glimpse of a wealth of choral music which was lost.
