Fr John Saward celebrated a lovely High Mass in SS Gregory & Augustine's, Oxford, the the feast of the Annunciation.
Mass was accompanied by the Ensemble Res Sacra, who regularly accompany these feast-day Masses. They had a particular treat for us this time, singing pieces by Paolo Papini (d.1603), who was maestro di cappella at Ospedale di Santo Spirito in Sassia, Rome, recently discovered by Dr. Naomi Barker, Senior Lecturer in Music with the Open University.
In addition, they sang rarely-heard Mass by Giovanni Animuccia, who was Palestrina's successor and predecessor at the Cappella Giulia.
