  • Wonderfull Bassoon If I may say so. Is there any video of Sally doing a concerto by anyone famous.

  • This is simply outstanding melody. Defines the actual word...Melody and what it means especialy to the listener. To me it is what 'Listenability" is all about. Absolutly not even a hint of harsness. Bach could take a hint or two from this as I believe the greta JSB was at times very stressed and it showed in some of his works.

  • Lol let me be more specific lol the Sheetmusic!

  • does anyone know where i can acquire this music!.

    

  • Great music! Thank you so much!

  • Great stuff

    this would have been uplifting in the depressing times after the Cartegena disaster a year earlier

  • Gorgeous

  • this guys my friends like great great uncle or some shit

  • Two words "Simply Excellent"

  • Maybe I should have said he was writing with the voice type of John Beard in mind - then I might not have sounded so ignorant.

  • Sorry, I didn't mean to imply you were ignorant at all. Beard was probably equally as famous a singer of Greene and Boyce's anthems as he was of Handel's oratorios in his own time, and it's quite possible Boyce was using his voice as a role-model for his tenor writing.

  • ...that's because he was writing for John Beard.

  • It was actually John Church who was supposed to be singing the first performance in Dublin, not John Beard in London although a private performance was arranged before the 1742/43 Dublin concert series. Boyce transposed a lot of the music for the Dublin performances, as he did with other music he performed there as Church seems to have been a haute-contre, but with the full lower tenor range! Although I don't doubt Boyce would still write wonderful tenor parts, whoever was singing :)

  • William Boyce has wonderful tenor parts. And lovely sweeping violin parts.
