Composed by Dr. John Bull. Arranged by James M. Guthrie. Chamber,Early Music,Historic,Religious,Renaissance. 12 pages. Jmsgu3 #874639. Published by jmsgu3 (A0.1283457).John Bull was an English composer, organist, virginalist, and organ builder who lived from 1562/63 to 1628. He was educated as a chorister of the Chapel Royal in London and later became a Doctor of Music at both Oxford and Cambridge Universities. Bull was one of the most famous composers of keyboard music of the early 17th century, and most of his compositions were written for the virginal, a keyboard instrument popular in the Renaissance period. He was known for his outstanding technical ability and keyboard virtuosity, and his music is distinguished by unfailing resourcefulness in devising new musical ideas. Bull's reputation rests on his extensive compositions for virginals and organ, some 150 extant pieces published in Musica Britannica. He was also one of the contributors to Parthenia, a collection of keyboard music published in 1611. Bull wrote an anthem, God the Father, God the Son, for the 1613 wedding of the princess and the Elector Palatine, in addition to his keyboard compositions, verse anthems, canons, and other works. Bull's music ranked among the foremost composers along with Byrd, Gibbons, and Tomkins.
The hymn "Christe Redemptor Omnium" has a rich history dating back to the 6th century. It is the traditional hymn for Vespers during the Christmas season and is associated with the Latin liturgical chant repertoire. The melody is finely crafted, emphasizing the accents of the dactyls in ascent and descent, making it a jewel of the Latin liturgical chant repertoire. The hymn's text is characterized by wonderful poetry, firmness, and depth, serving as a prayer for the Savior of mankind. The hymn has undergone various changes and has been associated with different titles, adding to its historical significance. The piece "Christe, redemptor omnium" by Du Fay is also related to the hymn and combines an old plainchant with the stylistic characteristics of the new English faburden style. Overall, "Christe Redemptor Omnium" holds a significant place in the history of liturgical music, particularly during the Christmas season.
