William Byrd - Ne Irascaris Domine & Civitas Sancti Tui - Ars Nova Copenhagen

Ars Nova Copenhagen conducted by Paul Hillier performs William Byrd’s double motet Ne Irascaris Domine & Civitas Sancti Tui. Ne irascaris, Domine, satis et ne ultra memineris iniquitatis nostrae. Ecce, respice, populus tuus omnes nos. Civitas sancti tui facta est deserta. Sion deserta facta est, Jerusalem desolata est. (Isaiah 64 v. 9-10) Be not angry, O Lord, enough, and remember no more our iniquity: lo, regard, all we are your people. The city of your holy one is made desert, Sion is made desert, Jerusalem is become desolate. Sound recording by Danish Radio at Trinitatis Church, Copenhagen, Easter 2021. Video by Julie Malmstrøm.
