I find this piece so inspiring and calming. It is performed perfectly by Chanticleer! Thank you! This absolutely soothes my weary soul.

An early edition of an encyclopedia of music, possibly Chambers or Pears - I forget but no matter - in its article on Purcell, concluded with a statement that became burned on my mind ... and so died the great Purcell, buried with honour in Westminster Abbey. His early death must be regarded as a national calamity.

Amen.

'And the peace of God which passeth all understanding.....', well, Purcell, despite Civil war, plague, fire, seems to comprehend it...sublime..a glimpse of an England that might have been..

Very nice! I performed this piece last summer at the Lamèque International Baroque Music Festival (Canada).

There is, I think, something so very refreshing about Baroque music, like taking a breath of fresh air. It encompassed the Age of Reason & the Enlightenment & revolution was in the air.
