  • Assemble those cannons , lads.

  • I love this!!

  • Whoo! Go Universe!

  • Love Purcell! Esp. Faerie Queen. Bach and Handel are the icons of Baroque, but anyone who is not familiar with Purcell, Telemann and Scarlotti are truly missing out on some very beautiful and well composed music.

  • Victoria!!

  • Splendid Octaves.

  • Will I become a famous musician if I eat that? Tell me because I'm an aspiring artist. Does that inspire?

  • How interesting. What do you think the recipe might have been?

  • Beautiful.

  • Ah, Purcell...the very very best!

  • Beautiful, what lovely resonant voices that touch my soul. Purcell must have heard the voices of angels in heaven, whilst on earth, to translate such beauty to audible human sound.

  • @yamiyugikun John Blow composed a lovely "Ode on the Death of Mr. Henry Purcell". Its lyric (by Dryden) ends:

    The Heav'nly Quire, who heard his Notes from high,

    Let down the Scale of Musick from the Sky:

    They handed him along,

    And all the way He taught, and all the way they Sung.

    Ye Brethren of the Lyre, and tunefull Voice,

    Lament his lott: but at your own rejoyce.

    Now live secure and linger out your days,

    The Gods are pleas'd alone with Purcell's Layes,

    Nor know to mend their Choice.

  • @yamiyugikun And he joined the angels in heaven, all too soon. His gain, our loss!
