Gradual Effunderunt sanguine, tract Qui seminant in lacrimis.

Gradual Effunderunt sanguine, tract Qui seminant in lacrimis.

Sung by the Schola Abelis of Oxford in the Church of Our Lady of Light, Long Crendon, Buckinghamshire, on Saturday 13th Feb 2010.

Mass was a votive Mass of the Martyrs of England and Wales (a feast with falls on 4th May). This feast is peculiar to England and Wales and the chants are written specially for it. Since this votive Mass took place after Septuagesima the Alleluia was replaced with the Tract common to all feasts of martyrs, Qui seminant. The Gradual, however, is proper to this feast.
