Henry Purcell - The Fairy Queen - If love's a sweet passion
Henry Purcell (1659-1695) The Fairy Queen "If love's a sweet passion" Veronique Gens, soprano Les artes florissants, dir. William Christie If Love's a Sweet Passion, why does it torment? If a Bitter, oh tell me whence comes my content? Since I suffer with pleasure, why should I complain, Or grieve at my Fate, when I know 'tis in vain? Yet so pleasing the Pain, so soft is the Dart, That at once it both wounds me, and tickles my Heart. I press her Hand gently, look Languishing down, And by Passionate Silence I make my Love known. But oh! I'm Blest when so kind she does prove, By some willing mistake to discover her Love. When in striving to hide, she reveals all her Flame, And our Eyes tell each other, what neither dares Name. Ye Gentle Spirits of the Air, appear; Prepare, and joyn your tender Voices here. Cath, and repeat the Trembling Sounds anew, Soft as her Sighs and sweet as pearly dew, Run new Division, and such Measures keep, As when you lull the God of Love asleep. Gemälde: JH Füssli, Titania erwacht, 1793/94 Véronique Gens: veroniquegens.com

H. Purcell - The Fairy Queen "O Let Me Weep" Sylvia McNair
"O let me weep" (The Fairy Queen, Z. 629) Sylvia McNair with Vienna Concentus Musicus, Conducted by Nikolaus Harnoncourt (1994) Composer: Henry Purcell Librettist (Playwright): Thomas Betterton(?) Libretto: opera.stanford.edu Source: William Shakespeare's comedy A Midsummer Night's Dream First performance: Dorset Garden, London, 1692 Voicing: Soprano solo, D minor ( she sings it a semitone lower, a common practice for Baroque music) Genre: Secular, Aria Language: English Instruments: Violin (or oboe, or possibly recorder)and continuo Published: 1689 The main source for this song is Orpheus Britannicus. The collection of songs by Henry Purcell entitled Orpheus Britannicus is in two volumes, published in 1698 and 1702 respectively. These include solo songs, duets and dialogues, and some songs for 3 voices. For more info: en.wikipedia.org The Fairy-Queen (Z.629) is a masque or semi-opera by Henry Purcell. It was first performed on May 2, 1692 at the Queen's Theatre, Dorset Garden in London by the United Company. The libretto is an anonymous adaptation of William Shakespeare's wedding comedy "A Midsummer Night's Dream". Presumably the author or at least co-author of the libretto is Thomas Betterton, the manager of Dorset Garden Theatre with whom Purcell worked regularly. This assumption is based on an analysis of Betterton's stage directions. A collaboration between several playwrights is also feasible. Choreography for the various dances was provided by Josias Priest, who ...

Hear My Prayer, O Lord (Purcell) — Choir of St Thomas Church, Fifth Avenue
The Choir of Men and Boys of St Thomas Church, Fifth Avenue, New York, under the direction of Gerre Hancock, perform Henry Purcell's sacred anthem 'Hear My Prayer, O Lord'. The anthem, which draws on text from Psalm 102, was almost certainly composed for the Choir of the Chapel Royal and is quite possibly the first part of a much longer work that was either never completed or partially lost to time. Purcell's pairing of the text with dissonant chords and an almost haunting composition give the better part of the piece an air of mourning or of sorrow. I have uploaded it here, specifically performed by the Choir at St Thomas Church, Fifth Avenue, in remembrance of the tenth anniversary of the September 11 attacks that brought such sorrow to the United States but perhaps above all to St Thomas' home city of New York. [ Text: ] Hear my prayer, O Lord, And let my crying come unto Thee. [ Recording available on the disk 'A Cappella from St Thomas Church' (Koch Int'l Classics, 1998) ].

Purcell O Solitude, Z 406 - James Bowman
Henry Purcell (1658/9-1695) "O solitude, my sweetest choice", Z. 406, published 1684/5. Note before beginning: The original score suppposed to be in C minor, whereas the only score I found is in B-flat minor and this recording I have in F# minor. Sorry you guys out there who claim to have absolute pitch. All I can suggest is, just close your eyes and try to enjoy it. Henry Purcell (1659-1695), English Baroque composer. He has often been called England's finest native composer. Purcell incorporated Italian and French stylistic elements but devised a peculiarly English style of Baroque music. The text of the powerful O solitude, my sweetest choice is a translation of a poem by Antoine Girard de Saint-Amant (1594-1661) , "La solitude". Thanslation is by Katherine Philips, known as "Orinda" as she called herself. It appeared in the fourth book of the anthology The Theater of Music in 1686. The ground bass was not new when Purcell began composing; in fact, it was somewhat old-fashioned. He may have used the device as often as he did because he found it challenging. Repeated bass patterns, especially if they are diatonic, limit the harmonic exploration of a piece, and Purcell succeeded in breaking through this barrier on many occasions, most successfully in O solitude. In other songs, such as "Now that the sun hath veiled his light" and "Music for a while", Purcell transposes the ground bass in order to modulate.

Passacaglia from King Arthur - Henry Purcell
An astonishing perfomance by the English Concert and Choir, conducted from the harpsichord by Trevor Pinnock, shining with emotional and technical perfection. I felt nothing but pure euphoria when listening to their recording of Henry Purcell's semi-opera King Arthur, Z 628, 1691, and especially from the hauntingly beautiful Passacaglia from Act IV. I am sure you fellow YouTubers will feel the same way about it after listening to this magnificent piece, but of course, YouTube will never do it justice, considering the low sound quality. Originally recorded in 1991, this one is found on a 2003 compilation album.

Purcell 'They that go down to the sea in ships'. George, Bowman
Henry Purcell's anthem 'They that go down to the sea in ships' Z57 was composed to celebrate King James II and the singer John Gostling's escape from shipwreck in the Solent, 1685. John took the words from the Psalms. John, a basso profundo, had a range of two octaves, ranging from D below the stave to D above it. Purcell set 'deep' to a low note, and 'heaven' to a high one. Michael George - bass James Bowman - countertenor Choir of the King's Consort The King's Consort - Robert King Mandelbrot as Julia animations created using Fractal Explorer. They that go down to the sea in ships; these men see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep. For at his word the stonmy wind ariseth, which lifteth up the waves thereof. They are carried up to heaven, and down again to the deep; their soul melteth away because of trouble. Psalm 107 vv 23-32 The secular ode 'Yorkshire Feast song' includes tenor and bass duets with Michael George. www.youtube.com

O SOLITUDE d'Henry Purcell by Alfred Deller
O Solitude O solitude, my sweetest choice! Places devoted to the night, Remote from tumult and from noise, How ye my restless thoughts delight! O solitude, my sweetest choice! O heav'ns! what content is mine To see these trees, which have appear'd From the nativity of time, And which all ages have rever'd, To look today as fresh and green As when their beauties first were seen. O, how agreeable a sight These hanging mountains do appear, Which th' unhappy would invite To finish all their sorrows here, When their hard fate makes them endure Such woes as only death can cure. O, how I solitude adore! That element of noblest wit, Where I have learnt Apollo's lore, Without the pains to study it. For thy sake I in love am grown With what thy fancy does pursue; But when I think upon my own, I hate it for that reason too, Because it needs must hinder me From seeing and from serving thee. O solitude, O how I solitude adore! Katherine Fowler Philips (née le 1er janvier 1631, décédée le 22 juin 1664), dite l'incomparable Orinde ("the matchless Orinda") est une poétesse anglo-galloise, connue notamment en raison de la reprise de son poème "O solitude" par Henry Purcell

My Beloved Spake, Z. 28 Verse Anthem Julian Podger, Charles Daniels - Tenors Charles Pott, Peter Harvey - Basses Gabrieli Consort Paul McMreesh *From the Archiv CD "Hail, Bright Cecilia!" (1995) "My Beloved Spake" was composed no later than 1677 -- Purcell's 18th year. Astonishing in its technical assurance, delightful in the vernal freshness of its musical invention, and beautifully lucid in construction, with its opening symphony repeated mid-way through the succession of vocal movements, it is not less remarkable than the teenaged works of Mozart.
