This recording traces the range of his achievement, from motets for four to nine voices to his single surviving Mass, revealing a composer whose command of counterpoint and response to text shaped the development of the Roman motet in the early sixteenth century. Performed by The Choir of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge under David Skinner, these works place L’héritier in the company of the finest musicians of his age. They also restore to view a distinctive voice whose influence extended well beyond his own lifetime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/7977\/8534\/files\/INV1020_booklet.pdf?v=1792598151\" title=\"Album Booklet - Jean L'héritier: Nigra sum sed formosa - The Choir of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge; Andrew Lawrence-King (psaltery \u0026amp; harp); David Skinner (director) - Inventa Records - INV1020\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAlbum Booklet (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Album Booklet - Elsewhere: Commissions for Clarinet - Robert Plane (clarinet), Gould Piano Trio, Elias String Quartet, Tim Horton (piano); James Gilchrist (tenor) Rhys Herbert (conductor)- Resonus Classics - RES10388\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/7977\/8534\/files\/RES10388_booklet.pdf?v=1784491169\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Album Booklet - Ever Changing Skies: Choral Works - Recordare - Resonus Classics - RES10392\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/7977\/8534\/files\/RES10392_Booklet.pdf?v=1784486288\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/7977\/8534\/files\/RES10360_booklet.pdf?v=1747818424\" title=\"Album Booklet - Gabriel Jackson: Choral Works - The Choir of Canterbury Cathedral, Jamie Rogers (organ), Sam Corkin (saxophone) \u0026amp; David Newsholme (conductor and solo organ) - Resonus Classics - RES10360\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAbout the Artists: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.resonusclassics.com\/collections\/the-choir-of-sidney-sussex-college-cambridge?_pos=1\u0026amp;_psq=the+choir+of+sidney\u0026amp;_psid=ba0081386\u0026amp;_ss=e\" title=\"The Choir of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge - Inventa Records\"\u003eThe Choir of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge;\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.resonusclassics.com\/collections\/andrew-lawrence-king-psaltery-harp?_pos=1\u0026amp;_psq=Andrew+L\u0026amp;_psid=bfee07c26\u0026amp;_ss=e\" title=\"Andrew Lawrence-King - harp \u0026amp; psaltery - Inventa Records\"\u003eAndrew Lawrence-King;\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.resonusclassics.com\/collections\/david-skinner-conductor?_pos=1\u0026amp;_psq=David+Skinner\u0026amp;_psid=82ef50c50\u0026amp;_ss=e\" title=\"David Skinner (conductor) - Inventa Records\"\u003eDavid Skinner\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca title=\"Jessica Walker - voice - Resonus Classics\" href=\"https:\/\/www.resonusclassics.com\/collections\/jessica-walker-voice\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"resonusclassics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62949521916291,"sku":"INV1020","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/7977\/8534\/files\/INV1020_L_heritier_Nigra_sum_Sidney_Sussex_Skinner.jpg?v=1792598791","url":"https:\/\/www.resonusclassics.com\/products\/jean-lheritier-nigra-sum-sed-formosa","provider":"Resonus Classics \u0026 Inventa Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
