ESSENTIAL PURCELL

Tracklist

Henry Purcell (1659-1695)

Welcome, welcome glorious morn

Be welcome then, great Sir

Oh, fair Cedaria

Hear my prayer, O Lord

When I am laid in earth ('Dido's Lament')

Let mine eyes run down with tears

The sparrow and the gentle dove

If music be the food of love (prima versione)

Rejoice in the Lord alway ('The Bell Anthem')

Hosanna to the highest

Thou knowest, Lord, the secrets of our hearts

Fairest Isle, all isles excelling

Mark, how readily each pliant string

Sound the trumpet

She loves and she confesses too

O how blest is the Isle

Remember not, Lord, our offences

Now that the sun hath veiled his light ('An Evening Hymn')

Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us this day

With rapture of delight... Hail bright Cecilia
