Purcell: Come, Ye Sons of Art, Z323. Parrott, Taverner Consort and Players

[@untontoalosmandos]

I can't imagine what would be the face of Purcell, when a nine months later after composing this elegant "happy birthday song" for the queen, he had to compose also the music for her funeral.

[@seanhunter111]

....which ended up being his funeral music also.

It's 5am in California, and I just listened to this with my cup of Peet's Coffee. What a great way to start the weekend! Sigh...

[@russbetts1467]

One of my favourite Purcell pieces. As an amateur singer, I've always wanted to sing 'Come, Ye Sons of Art' with an Early Music consort, but could never find a local choral/music society which would consider performing it. I'n now a man of 74 and still sing in folk clubs regularly. I also play Recorders and discovered Early Music because of David Munrow.

La musica mas hermosa que es insuperable. Purcell : eres lo maximo

[@angiee.2141]

On touche à la perfection....

[@sidneyfrederickson3941]

"See, Nature Rejoicing" is exactly how I imagine: grand, triumphant, loud and brash. A fitting salute to a popular monarch and a time of peace and progress after the chaos of the century.

[@alejandroherreradelaparra3977]

The best english composer ever...

[@el7284]

Sure, if you casually brush past half of the eminent Tudor composers

[@RuthvenMurgatroyd]

@@el7284 Still the best.

[@levicopp3224]

Glorious. Purcell's wondrous art, an imperishable legacy.

[@jddrew1000]

The "Strike the Viol" is so beautiful. The tenor is amazing and the recorders and string flow over the comtinuo really exhibits such beauty in the ritornello. Purcell was truly a genius!

[@markmiller3713]

He really was. His sacred music is outstanding. Pity it seems like all he's known for these days is "Trumpet Voluntary".

[@markmiller3713]

Possibly - either him or Jeremiah Clarke

[@wirag4680]

It's a countertenor :D

[@WilliamTheByrd]

Charles Daniels is truly extraordinary.

[@waldenhouse]

Played Come Ye Sons of Art at Music College in the UK. Loved playing the Crumhorn and Tenor recorder. Would love to get my hands on them now!

[@bcgrote]

Wow, I hope we can do justice to this wonderful piece! Burbank Chorale 100th season!

[@liamirons-mclean9897]

the tenor is incredible

[@alishalileh]

Sublime

[@hudsonbailey674]

I think this performance is high art.

[@howardchasnoff208]

I agree. This recording is unsurpassed.

[@howardchasnoff208]

With innocent revels. Is that an oxymoron?

[@howardchasnoff208]

This performance is exceptional.

[@howardchasnoff208]

Bravo sound the trumpet. Bravo Charles Daniels in strike the viol. Purcell died shortly after writing this ebullient Birthday ode. So did Queen Mary.

[@gabrielchukuezi7014]

10:40 - Galvanising!

[@richardsmith2879]

Who would mark this down?

[@FeloniusMonkInGSharp]

Frank Zappa directed me here.

[@yonathansuissa8814]

who is singing the upper part in the "Sound the trumpet"? The lower is sung by Ainsley I think. the upper is a countertenor

[@Muzikay]

Jonathan Suiss טימות'י וילסון. עדכנתי בתיאור.

[@yonathansuissa8814]

Muzikay תודה :)

[@1tbo]

Timothy Wilson on the upper part and Charles Daniels on the lower. Parrots wrote of this duet as a meeting of the "old" countertenor (meaning "high tenor") and "new" countertenor (meaning "falsetto alto," which is the modern meaning of "countertenor".)

[@1tbo]

Damn autocorrect. I wrote "Parrott," as in Andrew. I didn't get any emails from tropical birds.

[@nextlifeonearth]

@@1tbo The "old" countertenor would sing the soprano part. The alto was sung by high tenors. They weren't called countertenors. This is also how it was likely originally performed, a countertenor for the high part and a high tenor for the lower.
