PURCELL Music For The Funeral Of Queen Mary

[@Frantzouse]

The dignity, solemnity and sorrow through this is just incredible. It's always the same emotion each time I listen to it. I feel sad but it feels good.

[@shin-i-chikozima]

The depth of solemnity and sorrow of this performance is unrivaled, and immeasurable

[@genesbeans]

It's incredible how Purcell uses the timpani in this music.

[@missasinenomine]

I think this was used in the procession to Westminster Abbey.

[@macbird-lt8de]

not sure the composer used timpani per se lol

[@macbird-lt8de]

look to moi like the bone gots valves lol

[@wilhelmorangenbaum]

I think Timpani is actually scored "Ad Libitum"

[@soapydesigner]

Loved it in A Clockwork Orange

[@ssirfbrorsan]

It was through 'A Clockwork Orange' that I, until then a mediocre dance band musician, discovered and came to love Purcell AND started playing the trumpet and trained for three years at a music college.

perfection!

[@davidwright8432]

As ceremonial music for a solemn occasion, Purcell has no equal. Besides being a great musician, he surely understood the human heart. Many thanks to performers - and poster!

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

Regarding the claim in your first sentence, I suggest you listen to the Funeral Sentences of William Croft (1678-1727); Croft incorporated one of Purcell’s settings into his own (Thou knowest, Lord, the secrets of our hearts), in short as a tribute, and saying that it could not be bettered. It is Croft’s setting, not Purcell’s, that has been used at the funeral of almost any British figure of whom one has ever heard (including the late-Queen in 2022) since its first performance - probably for Queen Mary II in 1695.

[@WalterPaulKomarnicki]

Quanta elegância, sonoridade e cadência de todos esses intérpretes instrumentais, coral e regente. O órgão bastante discreto cumpre maravilhosamente o seu papel de fundo harmônico que em nenhum momento compete com os metais e a obediente divisão do obra cumpre um ritual preciso e adequado ao momento fúnebre.

It's what I call a Bad Fur Day.

Finally, someone who referenced it. :)

[@vincenzoveronesi7379]

Really I have just heard a marvellous page: bravi, bravi, bravissimi!!! Furthermore I would avail myself of the occasion in order to express my wholehearted thanks to KZbin: I am allowed by them to obtain at least some knowledge of pages written by composers [in this instance Henry Purcell] of whom in the best of instances I would know just the name but no more... And similar considerations have to be extended also to the actual performers: without KZbin I would never have gained any acquaintance of Singapore Symphony [bravi!! bravi!! bravissimi!!!] nor of Ms. Sofi Jeannin, their [charismatic] female director. With my best wishes!!

In 1694, Purcell wrote a joyful ode for Queen Mary's birthday, and a year later, this funeral music. In the same year, Purcell himself left this world either. Queen Mary was 32 years old, Purcell was 36 years old when died.

[@BojanaJakovljevic]

Love this. No need for interpretation.

I listened to this while drinking at the old Milk bar making my paradox of what to do in the evening.

There was me, That is Alex, and our three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, And Dim. And we sat there, at the korova milkbar, wondering out rasoodocks what to do with the evening. The korova milkbar sold milk plus, milk velocet, milk synthesmic, or drencrum, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and get you ready for a little bit of the old- ultra-violence

[@toptentechtipsthingsricegu8822]

​@@chez6405 I bet you're fun at parties. Do you really find the film that tasteless? It's critically acclaimed and well-respected among filmmakers. And if you like fiction at all I guarantee you most of your favourite directors have taken at least some inspiration from A Clockwork Orange or another of Kubrick's films.

Man that is born of a woman hath but a short time to live, and is full of misery. He cometh up, and is cut down, like a flower; he fleeth as it were a shadow, and ne'er continueth in one stay. In the midst of life we are in death: of whom may we seek for succour, but of thee, O Lord, who for our sins art justly displeased? Yet, O Lord God most holy, O Lord most mighty, O holy and most merciful Saviour, deliver us not into the bitter pains of eternal death. Thou knowest, Lord, the secrets of our hearts; shut not thy merciful ears to our prayer; but spare us, Lord most holy, O God most mighty, O holy and merciful Saviour, thou most worthy judge eternal, suffer us not, at our last hour, for any pains of death, to fall from thee. ‍ Book of Common Prayer, Order for the Burial of the Dead ‍

A great shame, unworthy of the greatest composer working at the point of evolution from Renaissance to Baroque. It started well with a Purcell-friendly number of musicians, but fell off the right path when far too may singers wandered in. Quantity crushed quality and I decided to have another session with a more appropriate interpretation, also on KZbin.
