Quam pulchra es, by John Dunstable (d. 1453)

Text from the Song of Songs 7:4-12. The version sung here is based on the two primary sources (BL Q15 and BU 2216) and differs in some details from the more widely sung version. This performance is from a program of settings of the Song of Songs sung by Quire Cleveland under guest conductor David Fallis, February 27-28, St. John’s Cathedral, Cleveland, and St. Bernard’s Parish, Akron, Ohio.
