Robert White

Wikipedia (1538-1574) [British. Renaissance.]
If you're just gonna listen to one: Christe qui lux es I


Background

Robert White spent his life in prestigious choir master positions; most of his work involved choral compositions for liturgical settings. White was highly respected during his lifetime, but died relatively young during an outbreak of the plague. His work went ignored for two centuries, but was rediscovered and (although he's not a household name) his works are performed and recorded regularly by Renaissance groups.

Choral

Regina Caeli
Lamentations of Jeremiah
Magnificat & other pieces
