Purcell - Birthday Ode for Queen Mary II (Z.323): I-V

Campion College's Schola Cantorum sang this at a fundraising dinner, though we didn't perform the "strike the viol" part.

I agree a very beautiful piece of music. The best rendition remains that sung by Michael Chance & James Bowman, conducted i think by Robert King. This music illustrates the genius of Purcell-The English Bach.

i love it !!!!!! Come, ye Sons of Art, come away, Tune all your voices and instruments play To celebrate this triumphant day. Sound the trumpet, till around You make the list'ning shores rebound. On the sprightly hautboy play; All the instruments of joy, That skilful numbers can employ, To celebrate the glories of this day. Come, ye Sons of Art, come away, Tune all your voices and instruments play To celebrate this triumphant day.
