| Description: |
Henry Molle (d. 1658) was a fellow of King’s College, Cambridge, and a senior academic of the university for some forty years. Although he was a gentleman-composer rather than a professional, his music is fluent and shapely, benefitting perhaps from the influence of Henry Loosemore, his contemporary at King’s. Molle’s four-voice unaccompanied Latin Te Deum may well have been composed for Peterhouse during the exceedingly high churchman John Cosin’s mastership of that college; it exists in two versions, for double choir and single choir (MATB), both of which are printed here. The verse anthem Great and marvellous are thy works for MMAATB soloists and choir with organ also belies Molle’s amateur status. Missing material has been recomposed by the editor. v + 30 pages.
