"Not long ago neither Tallis's Missa Puer natus est nobis nor his antiphon Ave, Dei patris filia could have been recorded: the manuscripts for some of the voice-parts were missing and were believed to be lost for ever. It is a privilege to put such significant works together on disc for the first time." (Peter Phillips)
The Magnificat and Ave, Dei patris filia are also available on the specially priced double album
